Also, no need to register for sessions in advance - pick and choose as you go!

GENERAL SESSIONS Join the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH), the Pennsylvania Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL), the Pennsylvania Bureau of Human Services Licensing (BHSL), and PACAH for policy updates on what matters most to you. Receive timely information on the operations of DOH as it relates to surveys and licensing, and how it can impact your facility. Stay on top of current initiatives undertaken by OLTL, and learn more about the state budget, status of rate payments, and other issues impacting fiscal operations. Join in on the discussion as PACAH’s board and executive director guide you through policy, legislation and budget initiatives that will have a direct impact on your facility.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER Joe Dittmar’s eyewitness account of the sights, sounds, and scenes from the World Trade Center complex on 9/11/01 presents an intriguing and gripping perspective on what really happened before, during, and after the terrorist attacks. The recitation of his journey provides a wealth of insight on an event that not only changed the world, but changed the way we proceed with our daily lives as Americans.
