Thank you for attending Day at the Capitol!

By Charlie Peterson | March 22, 2024 | All members

Thank you to every one of our 120+ members who traveled to join us for our annual Day at the Capitol on March 20, 2024. Many productive and meaningful meetings were held with legislators to promote investment in, and attention to, long-term care. The relationships created and strengthened through this engagement will help to ensure that our industry, and those we care for, are better prioritized moving forward. Check out the photos from the event here.

At a time when our state’s population is aging, and our workforce is struggling, engagement with lawmakers is crucial to ensuring that we do not go unnoticed. Hearing firsthand about the direct impact that legislation has had and will have on those caring for their communities will give legislators a personal connection to the issues being discussed this year in St. Paul.

If you were unable to attend but still want the opportunity to use our materials for later meetings with elected officials, we posted materials in the “Day at the Capitol” section of our website. We strongly encourage you to contact your elected officials if you have not yet done so. Legislation is routinely being brought up that has the potential to negatively impact the ability of long-term care providers to continue caring for people. It is important that your elected officials hear from the people who live and work in their districts to show them why bills that hurt senior care providers also hurt the residents for whom they care for.
