Annual Convention and Trade Show<br />
IHCA hosts the state’s largest convention and trade show for long<br />
term care professionals. This much-anticipated event features more<br />
than 100 educational sessions covering a wide range of pertinent<br />
topics, as well as exhibits demonstrating the latest technology and<br />
services in the profession. Continuing education credits are offered<br />
for administrators, social workers, licensed nurses, certified dietary<br />
managers, registered dietitians, physical therapists, qualified service<br />
professionals and certified public accountants. For those disciplines<br />
not preapproved for continuing education credit, IHCA staff will<br />
provide any needed assistance to help you submit for approval to the<br />
appropriate crediting institution or organization.<br />
In addition to offering educational advantages, the acclaimed<br />
convention and trade show also offers entertainment and social events,<br />
to give you plenty of opportunities for networking and relaxing. An<br />
awards ceremony pays tribute to the state’s top volunteers, nurses,<br />
administrators, RSDs, and other staff members.<br />
Help Us Spread the Word!<br />
We encourage our members to share their pride with others who<br />
could benefit from a proactive, long term care association. Please<br />
let us know their names and phone numbers so we can contact<br />
them, or ask them to give us a call. We would love to explain the<br />
benefits of IHCA to them. We encourage you to support IHCA<br />
and take an active role in the association’s activities so you may<br />
continue making a difference in long term care.<br />

Franklin D. Roosevelt<br />
instituted the Social Security Act.<br />
In the 1920s, health examiners<br />
almost uniformly showed that very<br />
few people were healthy and normal,<br />
which helped to foster the belief that<br />
Americans needed more medical care<br />
and health supervision.<br />
Without a federal assistance program<br />
to help pay for the care of elderly<br />
or disabled, most states sent their<br />
impoverished citizens to “poor farms”<br />
or “almshouses.”<br />
In the 1930s, The New Deal helped<br />
promote the idea that elderly citizens<br />
should receive federal benefits on<br />
the basis of need. Social Security is<br />
now universal, and only tangentially<br />
needs-based.<br />
