For the past year, Pennsylvania’s
long-term care facilities have been the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their fight is far
from over.
Now, more than ever, Pennsylvania’s long-term care providers, workers and residents need our support.
We're asking our elected officials to stand up and support our healthcare heroes!
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on long-term care. Skyrocketing costs related to the continued COVID-19 response - coupled with chronic underfunding of the state's Medicaid program - could force providers to close their doors in 2021.
As Pennsylvania’s General Assembly begins to build a state budget plan, we need to make our voices heard.
Whether you work on the front lines, or you have a family member or friend in long-term care, join us in urging our elected officials to stand up for our most vulnerable.
