LeadingAge Wisconsin is a statewide membership association of nonprofit corporations dedicated to serving the needs of aging adults and people with disabilities. We provide our membership, which includes religious, fraternal, private, and government organizations, with programs and services to promote the highest quality of life and greatest independence for each individual served.

At our 2019 Spring Conference, we are going to be asking some tough questions. Join us May 1-3, 2019, at the La Crosse Center as we answer some of these questions and take on the vast opportunities and great challenges in aging services in Wisconsin. Check this out:

LeadingAge Wisconsin has partnered with Pathway Health Services to bring you a seven-part webinar series to help you with implementation of the Mega Rule Phase 3 requirements. These webinars will provide you details on what your skilled nursing facility must do to implement these changes to ensure you “pass the test” when the surveyors walk through your door.

Value First is a group purchasing organization that leverages the buying power of long term care communities to provide significant savings on food, medical, janitorial, office supplies, capital equipment, and new construction materials. Providers who participate in the Value First purchasing program pay no annual fee, select only the suppliers that best fit their needs, and support LeadingAge Wisconsin with their purchases. Contact Denise May (DMay@LeadingAgeWI.org) for more information.

Last year, 70 LeadingAge Wisconsin member organizations catapulted their recruitment and retention efforts with the tips shared by Denise Boudreau-Scott through our E Series. Those who registered to participate in the series already have access to the recorded webinars. Now, at the overwhelming request of our members, we are making available (to those who did not participate in the live series) the recordings of the five E Series webinars.

LeadingAge Wisconsin works diligently to represent your voice with Wisconsin's legislators, but our voice alone cannot convey the intensity of your needs.

For more information, please contact Annette Cruz (ACruz@LeadingAgeWI.org). Donations may be made payable to LeadingAge Wisconsin PAC and sent to 204 South Hamilton Street, Madison WI 53703.
