Hybrid Convention: In-Person in Grand Rapids and Virtual!

You’re Invited!

HCAM President & CEO Melissa Samuel invites skilled nursing and assisted living professionals to attend the association’s Convention & Expo in Grand Rapids, MI from September 18-20, 2023. This year we are celebrating HCAM’s 75th Anniversary!

HCAM’s Annual Convention and Expo will feature dynamic education sessions, exhibits and networking opportunities to connect with peers in the profession. The events, networking opportunities and seminars will help you re-energize your commitment to quality care, learn about the latest trends, and unwind after a full day of learning. If you are unable to attend the event in person, we hope you will consider participating virtually.
