Join RCPA for a Membership Benefits webinar on Tuesday, July 25, 2023, at 9:00 am to orient yourself with all that RCPA membership includes. This will certainly be important for new and potential members but will also be of value to current members, as there may be unrecognized benefits associated with our membership.

Register here to attend this webinar. Items we will review include the following and much more:

  • Virtually meet the dedicated RCPA Policy Staff and RCPA lobbyists;
  • Discuss the 2023 Legislative and Administrative priorities;
  • Highlight RCPA division committee and subcommittee meetings as well as what they offer;
  • View the RCPA member-only website;
  • Review exclusive yearly education and networking events; and
  • Understand other National Association memberships included with RCPA membership.

Visit the RCPA member benefits page or contact Tieanna Lloyd  for more information.

We look forward to your participation in this webinar.

Beginning in June 2023, the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) will hold Listen and Learn sessions with OLTL program participants across the Commonwealth.

OLTL provides Medical Assistance (MA) coverage and long-term services and supports (LTSS) to seniors and adults with physical disabilities through the Community HealthChoices (CHC), OBRA, Act 150, and Living Independence for the Elderly (LIFE) programs. The office wants to hear from participants who receive services through one of these programs and will be holding Listen and Learn Sessions at the locations and times listed here. These sessions are intended for OLTL staff to hear directly from participants, advocates, and community partners, with the goal of gathering critical feedback on OLTL programs.

Members are encouraged to share this information with their clients and families so they can attend and give their feedback on OLTL programs. Some sessions will be held in-person, and some will be conducted virtually. Space may be limited, so attendees are encouraged to register as soon as possible.

Questions about these sessions should be directed to the OLTL Provider Helpline at 800-932-0939.
