Join Director of Advocacy and Government Affairs, Tim Ward, for an in-depth, virtual conversation with Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward (R-Westmoreland). As majority leader, Senator Ward controls the legislative calendar for the state Senate, and leads the Republican majority in advancing priorities and enacting important legislation.
As the General Assembly returns to Harrisburg for the 2022 legislative session, get the inside scoop on the Senate’s plans to tackle important issues facing long-term care providers, including:
- The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic response
- The workforce crisis
- Lawsuit abuse reform
- Investments in the state Medicaid Program
Additionally, our conversation will offer a sneak peek at this year’s state budget outlook, including the General Assembly’s plans for the remaining $5 billion in American Rescue Plan Act federal stimulus dollars and other caucus priorities over the course of the year.
PHCA seeks to build on the momentum from a successful 2021 advocacy campaign, which scored numerous legislative victories and historic investments for the Commonwealth’s long-term care providers. Senator Ward was recently presented with the PHCA ‘Legislative Champion Award’ for her efforts in ensuring long-term care providers, frontline caregivers and Pennsylvania’s seniors received prioritization in Harrisburg.
The Legislative Update with Senator Ward will include time for members to ask questions via the GoToWebinar question box. You may also submit your questions in advance to tward@phca.org.
