Purpose:
As our advocacy efforts continue, it is important that we create new and dynamic opportunities to engage legislators on the relevant issues related to home care. Of particular importance is creating these opportunities in legislative districts for legislators to dialogue with the full spectrum of home care stakeholders and constituents.
With that in mind, Hearts for Home Care is sponsoring an initiative to create such an opportunity—a series of targeted, community round table discussions in legislative home districts.
The Details
What: Pennsylvania home care community stakeholder roundtable events touching all regions of Pennsylvania
Participants: Home care clients, home care field employees, home care office employees, district legislators and regional legislators
Topics of Discussion: Importance of home care; value home care provides to the community, challenges of receiving and providing home care; forecasting the future
Why: Home care in becoming increasingly important in Pennsylvania and many legislators and individuals impacted by home care don’t see the direct connection between the home care industry and the state government. These events will help bring attention to the home care community while showcasing the needs for greater attention and consideration within the state legislature.
