AutoGov Employee Gets Into Character

Posted by Taylor Phillips



In honor of The Hospice of Saint John, VP of Business Development Solara Cochran took on a whole new personality. Sunday May 19th, Solara volunteered as Alice (of Alice in Wonderland) for The Mad Hatter Tea Party and Fundraiser. All proceeds from the event went to support The Hospice of Saint John Foundation.

The mission of the Hospice of Saint John is to provide alternative, supportive and loving care for the terminally ill and their families, with an emphasis on life and living. Care is provided regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. The hospice foundation is supported by generous donations from individuals and organizations throughout the community, as well as fund raisers like The Mad Hatter Tea Party.

What is hospice? Hospice provides a caring environment for the physical and emotional needs of terminally ill patients and their families in their homes, in nursing homes, in assisted living residences, or inside an in-patient facility.

"Anyone who has faced terminal illness and welcomed Hospice into their lives knows how meaningful the work of these professionals can be. I know when my own Grandfather started slipping away after a battle with Dementia and Parkinson's. I was so relieved to learn that Hospice would be coming in to take care of him. He spent his final days in the comfort of his own home surrounded by family. We will be forever grateful for that time together." -Solara Cochran

The AutoGov Blog

Posted by Solara Cochran



At AutoGov, our purpose is to provide our clients with a comprehensive tool that makes their decisions easier and their processes more efficient and effective.  We are actively involved in Medicaid eligibility in both the private sector and state government. 

Through this blog we will share informative articles, lists, tips, reviews, and sometimes best practices.  For starters, we will categorize our posts into one of the following five categories:

  • Long term care
  • Medicaid
  • Hospital and healthcare systems
  • Small business lifestyle
  • Healthcare predictive analytics


1.  Long Term Care is a topic near and dear to our hearts.  With blog posts in this category, we will share industry updates, best practices, and customer comments. 

2.  Our intention is to post updates and articles that affect our customers.  If we run across tips or best practices, we will do our best to share!

3.  Medicaid eligibility is a topic that touches every aspect of the patients care pathway or continuum.  The Affordable Care Act is causing industry-wide reorganization.  AutoGov will identify how we might assist healthcare systems with Medicaid eligibility.

4.  From time to time, the AutoGov leadership team will share their activities and organizational involvements.  A small business isn't just about products, it's about people.

5.  "Big Data" is the new hot topic.  Journalists love to write about how "Big Data" is making its way into healthcare.  We will share relevant stories about how data and analytics are impacting the industry.

Contact us if you want to know more about AutoGov, CaseVue, or a topic you found on the Blog!
