Details and registration information

PHI’s Health Care for Health Care Workers (HCHCW) campaign invites direct-care workers and their allies in Pennsylvania to a conference on October 3. Conference registration is open through September 19. Exhibitor registrations will be accepted through September 12 or until exhibit space is sold out.

Empowering Our Future will bring together an emerging network of workers, worker-advocates, and others concerned about the future of long-term care in Pennsylvania. Workshops and activities for personal care attendants, nursing assistants, and other direct-care workers will cover a range of topics, including:

• Working with clients with dementia;
• Resolving conflicts;
• Managing your personal finances; and
• Communicating effectively with policymakers

“The conference is a rare opportunity to develop leadership skills, become an effective advocate for change in long-term care settings, and discuss the issues confronting the long-term care system with your peers,” says Tracy Lawless, Pennsylvania State Campaign Coordinator for HCHCW.

It also gives organizations that support or employ direct-care workers a chance to reach them through exhibiting or advertising in the brochure.
