Purpose
- An opportunity for members of the provider community to meet and discuss issues of mutual concern with state agencies and others.
- A method to address statewide long-term care issues. However, please note this does not replace the current process available to each nursing facility following the annual Medicare/Medicaid survey.
- An opportunity to learn about the latest ideas, issues, technology, and changes in the long-term care industry statewide.
- A process to communicate the issues and concerns from the committee to the public, the media, state legislators, long-term care providers, consumers, and other organizations that may be interested as determined by the committee.
