Summer Symposium
for long-term care professionals
Our annual symposium unites us to do ‘good’ for those we serve.
Each year, we come together as professionals with one thing in common… long-term care residents. Our symposium features education, community and connection to support professionals serving the aging community. From topics such as depression in older Americans and Medicaid changes to avoiding burnout among caregiving professionals, the symposium provides practical tools to help professionals do more ‘good’ in a better way.
