In this Voices interview, VP of Marketing and Communications, Anthony Dameika, sits down with Hospice News to talk about how Enclara fulfills its mission of service to its clients and the broader hospice community through frontline insights, innovation, and partnership.
What life or career experiences have most shaped your approach to the work you’re doing today?
Prior to this role, I spent a number of years with medical communication agencies serving the pharmaceutical industry. I enjoyed the work, but something was missing. The sense of purpose and mission inherent in hospice care is what really attracted me to this field, and that only deepened when my own father was receiving hospice care. I saw firsthand the care and compassion involved. When I noticed the Enclara pill bottles on his nightstand, it provided a tangible connection to the work I do on a daily basis. My father’s hospice care allowed my children to spend time with him, something that wouldn’t have been possible in an acute-care setting. Supporting hospice patients and easing the work of nurses delivering such care will always hold deep importance for me. It’s also deeply personal for my colleagues, many of whom have had loved ones cared for through hospice. There’s a collective passion in this organization, and it ties us together.
How does that sense of mission connect to Enclara’s day-to-day operations?
It comes down to our central promise: You deliver the care. We make it easier. At the macro level, we help hospices align clinical excellence with operational sustainability, so they can continue providing high quality care in a rapidly evolving landscape. That includes a lot of high-level strategy, but it really comes to life in the tools, knowledge, and support we provide to hospice nurses at the bedside. A prime example of that is our E3 Pro™ medication management platform, which has transformed how medications are ordered by nurses for physician approval. By continuously refining our products based on direct feedback, we deliver workflow innovations that drive measurable value. That evolution reflects our commitment to listening, adapting, and growing alongside our clients. Our focus on voice of the customer, or VOC, forms the primary basis of our long-term success by strengthening client loyalty and reinforcing Enclara’s role as a trusted leader in hospice pharmacy.
