Big conversations on workforce and national priorities for long-term care took place at our Fall Conference last week. 👏 AHCA’s Rachel Bunch and AHCA/NCAL’s Dana Ritchie shared workforce insights and national updates, and NCAL Executive Director LaShuan Bethea joined us to speak directly to our assisted living providers. 💙

💬 If loving to talk about workforce is wrong, we don’t want to be right. Our nursing school is at the heart of the solution. 💙

🌟 Big thanks to Dana Ritchie, Associate VP of Workforce & Constituency Services at American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living, for visiting our Little Rock LPN students today! 👏
