Providers of Aging Services are experiencing unprecedented regulatory press, reimbursement cuts and a growing workforce crisis. Your days are much busier than they have ever been keeping up with everything and staying quality and future focused. At the center of everything is the reason we are all in this field – the people we serve. This year’s theme is the “Power of Purpose” and we are helping you to navigate the three main issues in our field while celebrating why we do what we do. Join us to be inspired and find a renewed commitment to our collective purpose.
