The Master Plan for Aging: the Future of Health and Long-Term Care for New York State
With Governor Kathy Hochul’s groundbreaking Master Plan for Aging currently being formatted, the outcome will have a significant impact on New York’s seniors and individuals with disabilities and those who serve them. Are you ready?
The May 16th Elder Law Forum gathers leaders in the legal, government, health care, long-term care and financial worlds for the 29th year. They’ll bring you up-to-speed on this Master Plan that promises unprecedented opportunities to support older adults and people of all ages. You’ll also get the latest updates on the State budget, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Long-Term Care Insurance, Senior Housing and Disability Services, to expand knowledge, forge ideas and deliver practical takeaways.
We encourage you to join us ‘in-person’ at the Desmond for the full program, breakfast, lunch and networking with colleagues or via ‘live stream’ where you can learn and interact online. FREE TO ATTEND.
