This includes fellows and other healthcare students in provider and allied health/nursing programs. Encourage your student colleagues to sign up and join us in Gaylord!

This year's meeting, On the 45th Parallel: Taking Care to a Higher Latitude will be held in beautiful Gaylord, Michigan at the peak of the fall color season. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn and connect with your PALTC colleagues! Our keynote presentation will cover the work that addresses inequities in elder health care, including an innovative program to educate underserved communities on the benefits of hospice. The President and CEO of The Eden Alternative will present on their patient-centered care model and the financial rewards to a community that embraces it. Our ambassador from PALTmed, Alex Bardakh, will be back to speak on changes that for-profit ventures are bringing to our environment. LARA Directors will present on survey trends and updates.

As in years past, we’re offering our Provider Bootcamp: Essentials of Post-Acute and Long-term Care. This comprehensive half-day session provides a framework for care delivery in the PALTC environment, including regulations, processes and best practices.
