Town halls give IHCA members a practical way to support grassroots advocacy by showing up in your community and talking directly with elected officials about what’s happening in long-term care. A few minutes of conversation can help lawmakers better understand the impact of legislation on residents, tenants, patients, staff and operations. View IHCA’s 2026 legislative agenda here.
