FHCA Launches ENGAGE Long Term Care Advocacy Website

Florida's 2015 legislative session begins tomorrow, March 3. To help keep long term care advocates informed and engaged throughout the process, Florida Health Care Association has launched the ENGAGE LTC Advocacy website to help monitor legislation and track the issues that impact your center, your residents and your staff.
   
FHCA's ENGAGE LTC Advocacy website provides information about FHCA's 2015 legislative priorities and resources to help with becoming an effective long term care advocate. Learn more about our initiatives to restore Medicaid funding, make improvements to Medicaid managed long term care and protect seniors from unexpected medical bills. Visitors will also find informative issue briefs with helpful talking points to help you communicate key messages.

Visit the site often to follow the bills we're monitoring which have an impact on long term care providers and residents. When we need a call to action, we'll post "Take Action" alerts, which gives advocates an opportunity to have their voice heard. The user-friendly system allows visitors to enter their zip code to identify their state lawmakers and send a message urging them to vote for or against a legislative issue. FHCA's social media feeds, including Facebook posts and Twitter updates, along with a link to this Capitol Connection legislative blog, are also available to help keep advocates informed about our grassroots activity.
