Washington Chapter Conference Filled with Updates on State Issues Impacting Industry

​Home care industry leaders and HCAOA members in Washington met last week at the state chapter conference in Seattle to receive updates on several issues impacting the home care industry. State surveyors Lori Heiner and Annalisa Atienza provided detailed insight on surveys and Leslie Emerick, state lobbyist for the chapter, offered a recap of legislative and regulatory activities over the last five months.  

​Attendees also received a labor law update from attorneys Anthony Kuchulis and Goldie Davidoff, including the state’s Paid Family and Medical Leave Act, Silenced No More, and Equal Pay and Opportunities Act. 
 
Attendees also gladly welcomed State Representative and Visiting Angels Owner Kelly Chambers who spoke about the state legislature and efforts to assist the home care industry.
