Message from Richard S. Edley, PhD, President/CEO of RCPA:

On behalf of RCPA, I am pleased to share our 2026 Global and Divisional Legislative and Administrative Priorities, which are the result of a collaborative effort among RCPA’s policy directors, member-led steering committees and work groups, government affairs partners, and the broader membership. These priorities will serve as the foundation of our strategy in 2026 and beyond, guiding us in our work with the General Assembly, Shapiro Administration, and other key stakeholders. Our goal in that effort, as always, is to support our members in their mission to serve Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable citizens.


In these uncertain times, it will take a collective effort by all of us to meet the challenges that lie ahead. We look forward to working with you to do just that. Our Legislative and Administrative Priorities brochure is a “living” document; that is, as issues change throughout the year, we will continue to adapt these priorities. This document serves as the initial foundation and guide.


If you have any comments or questions about how you can get more involved, please contact me via email or your RCPA policy director(s).
