As an IHCA member, you’ll benefit from top-notch, low-cost educational programs; discounts on products and services; networking opportunities with a vast network of long term care professionals; and the advocacy and communication work of IHCA’s experienced and knowledgeable staff. IHCA member facilities and programs that cater to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (ID/DD) will benefit from the advocacy work of The Center for Developmental Disabilities and Community Supports (CDDACS), an IHCA entity.
As an IHCA member, you will benefit from our public policy team that is knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to ensuring your interests are well-represented, whether lobbying the Illinois General Assembly or working with state agencies on regulatory matters. Long term care providers in Illinois need an advocate who can affect policy, and as an IHCA member, you’ll benefit from us working on your behalf. At the same time, IHCA ID/DD members have a strong voice under The Center for Developmental Disabilities and Community Supports.
