Who:      Senator Patricia Vance, Representative Marguerite Quinn, and Secretary of Aging Brian Duke

What:     Will receive the BAYADA Home Health Care Champion Awards at the seventh annual BAYADA Day

When:    Tuesday, April 8, 11:30 am

Where:   Main Capitol Rotunda, Harrisburg, Pa.

Why:      The first annual BAYADA Home Health Care Champion Awards were established to recognize those government officials who have consistently supported our mission.

The awards ceremony will be held as a part of the seventh annual BAYADA Day.

The health care system in Pennsylvania is strained. Home health care provides a consumer-focused, cost-effective solution to unsustainable hospitalization and long-term care costs. BAYADA Day is a way to share our concerns and solutions with decision makers in Harrisburg.

Specifically, we will be advocating to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for these three issues:

  • Home nursing care for medically fragile children

  • The Office of Long Term Living home and community-based services waiver rates for personal care assistance and nursing services

  • Home health nursing and therapy services

Photo op:      More than 180 BAYADA employees and clients from around the state will gather on the steps of the Main Capitol Rotunda along with honorees and the parent of a BAYADA client who will speak about her experiences and the need for home health care.
