The Oregon Health Care Association to host the state’s largest long-term care summit, this year with a musical theme
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept. 13, 2018 – Yardi® will return as a premier sponsor and exhibitor this month at the 2018 OHCA Annual Convention & Trade Show. The event is the largest long-term care conference in the state and is expected to draw 1,200 attendees including owners, regional managers, administrators, nurses, department heads and direct care staff. It takes place at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland on Sept. 17–18, 2018.
This year’s theme is “Experience the Music of Life,” inspired by senior living staff and communities that encourage residents to continue living rich lives and enjoy each moment. Conference attendees can observe music therapy best practices during the featured Music & Memory® luncheon on Monday, Sept. 17, which focuses on the use of music as a non-pharmacological remedy for residents.
Keynote speaker Eddie Slowikowski, gold medal winner for the USA track and field team, will kick off the convention with a general session that encourages participants to be the best version of themselves in order to be stronger leaders. In total, over forty informative sessions, including many earmarked for continuing education units, are on the convention schedule. Yardi is sponsoring the OHCA annual awards ceremony, recognizing the contributions of long-term care professionals, taking place on Tuesday, Sept. 18.
