LEGISLATIVE UPDATE! SB 668, a LeadingAge PA-supported bill establishing a medication aide position in nursing homes, moved closer to the Governor’s desk today after receiving second consideration by the PA House of Representatives. It would allow CNAs to be cross-certified in assisted living residences and personal care homes, providing flexibility and support across different care settings. #NursingHomes #AssistedLiving #AgingServices #LeadingAgePA

We want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible summer intern, Madison Brawley, a Marketing and Business Analytics student at the University of Delaware! During her time with LeadingAge PA, she assisted our marketing and communications team, taking on a variety of key projects. “Now that my summer internship with LeadingAge PA has come to an end, I am reflecting on a rewarding experience. This summer, I took on projects like a website review, developing a marketing plan for the Fall Finance Conference, and learning SEO. I also gained a deep appreciation for the work being done in aging services and its positive impact on older adults, their loved ones, and the broader community. “A huge thanks to the communications team for their fantastic support and mentorship. I’m excited to apply these skills in my final year of college! “Thank you, LeadingAge PA, for a memorable and impactful summer!” Learn more about Madison’s time with us here: https://ow.ly/qk4U50TBwUv
