NFP Council
NFP Council In-Person Meeting
On March 13, 2013, AHCA's NFP Council held its first in-person meeting of the year. Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL, provided a Congressional update to the Council. In addition, the group heard from speakers on topics ranging from health care reform to AHCA's grassroots efforts. The Council holds monthly calls, and will meet in-person again in June during AHCA's Congressional Briefing.
About the NFP Council
The NFP Council supports and facilitates the Association’s mission, vision and policy goals in an ongoing effort to ensure that long term care is viewed as one profession, speaking in one voice, delivering a unified message. The Council also has primary responsibility to focus on those issues and needs that arise specific to the NFP constituency.
Vision: To empower NFP LTC providers as they meet the personal, spiritual, and healthcare needs of the individuals that they serve.
Mission: - To support, advise and influence AHCA in its global mission to help LTC providers deliver high quality care and services to America’s frail, elderly and disabled.
- To use Council members’ in-depth, NFP-specific expertise to strengthen AHCA member services, cultivate Association leadership, and provide specific support services to meet the needs of AHCA NFP members.
