TAP INTO AE

Government agencies, NGOs, and business enterprises regularly engage with Advancing Excellence for quick, efficient, and comprehensive feedback to their most pressing questions, issues, and opportunities related to post-acute/long-term care. Virtually every stakeholder group has a seat at the AE table and offers their unique perspective, giving you an expedient way to access the industry and get meaningful, well-considered answers.

"When Operation Warp Speed was preparing to deploy COVID-19 therapeutics into the field, it tapped Advancing Excellence. Within 48 hours, the collaborative provided a realistic lay of the land and robust perspectives from all stakeholders to assure the rollout would be effective."

Chris Laxton, Former Executive Director of AMDA, AELTCC immediate Past Chair

"Advancing Excellence gives me access to hearing about other associations/issues that are adjacent but not necessarily in my lane. No one has time to keep up with every issue, so learning about other organization’s priorities keeps me better informed."

Cynthia Morton, President of NASL

"Being a member of AE connects us with all stakeholders/industry leaders and influencers. Our participation gives us better access to policymakers and assures we understand the perspective of all voices in the long-term care sector."

Shennoy Wellington-Roberts, Administrator, Green Hills

"Our involvement has made it possible to build meaningful relationships with a multitude of stakeholders and have a real impact on effecting change in the industry. It gives us intelligence on what’s happening/coming in the field and we get an amazing array of perspectives from the membership and distinguished guests."

Lisa Thomson, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Pathway Health
