Our Committees
The Coalition is as strong as the people at its tables. Nursing home residents, direct-care staff, providers, advocates, care partners, researchers, policymakers, regulators and more have built this Coalition from the ground up. Thank you!
Our Steering Committee
We’re fortunate to have the guidance of a fantastic group of long-term care practitioners, advocates, community members, and leaders. Wise, dedicated, and collaborative – meet our rock.
