Successful advocacy addressed key issues for members, but overall fiscal concerns remain.

LeadingAge NY is extremely disappointed by these outcomes and will continue to work in the upcoming budget process and legislative session to find solutions for members.

Speech will coincide with the first day of the 2018 Legislative Session.

Advocacy Days will be held on Tues., Feb. 6, 2018 and Tues., March 6, 2018 on the Empire State Plaza in Albany.

Testimony proposes legislative/regulatory changes and financial investments that would enable New York’s growing senior population to access services in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs, thereby providing them with better care at a lower cost and improving their overall health.

Surveys, OIG audit, arbitration, ombudsman program, and staffing ratios among topics discussed.

Please call your lawmakers today and urge them to protect the medical expense deduction and tax-exempt financing for senior housing and CCRCs.

Final reminder to submit your organization's key budgetary, legislative, and regulatory priorities by Fri., Sept. 29^th.
