LeadingAge will continue advocacy efforts with outreach to the Administration, Congressional leaders, and the media to highlight these concerns and ensure that we must provide relief now. Please watch for an action alert to all LeadingAge members on Thursday’s call to send a message demanding that Congress return and provide the critical relief that is needed.
