A Message from the AHCA/NCAL President & CEO Mark Parkinson

Fortunately, COVID-19 cases in our buildings have declined dramatically. And that is the most important fact. But the Delta variant has shown us that COVID-19 isn’t gone. Delta – combined with staffing shortages, low census, vaccine hesitancy, and all the other issues we face – has turned this into another historically difficult year. 

There are flickers of hope. This memo will discuss those and exactly where we stand. First, I’ll focus on the clinical picture. Second, I’ll talk about the business side of our profession. Then, we’ll get into all the action in Washington, D.C.
