PHA Priorities
PHA’s advocacy priorities are to support access to home care through competitive wages for nurses and direct care workers who provide critical in-home care services to Medicaid recipients across the commonwealth.

PHA Advocacy
PHA regularly comments on proposed legislation and regulations to ensure that home care, home health and hospice is represented. Comment letters and provider feedback help lawmakers and regulators to understand how these proposals affect our industry and are an important part of advocacy.
