Joe Warner Patient Advocacy Awards
Never before in the history of the Joe Warner Patient Advocacy Awards have two NCAL Board of Director members been recognized in the same year for outstanding advocacy work. The award is given each year to a select few members who have demonstrated a commitment to building relationships with their members of Congress through meetings, fundraisers and community tours with the goal of educating legislators about issues involving assisted living and long term care.
Congratulations to the 2009 Joe Warner Patient Advocacy Award Winners!
