Participating in the Legislative Breakfast and Advocacy Day has completely changed how we interact with policy. The Long Island Chapter provides the platform we need to ensure our caregivers' voices reach Albany.
Joining as a Provider member was the best decision for our agency. The monthly meetings in Nassau and Suffolk provide a supportive ecosystem and vital resources that help us maintain the highest care standards.
