WHCA Annual Convention Wrap-Up

We had such a wonderful time connecting with each and every one of our members who attended WHCA’s Annual Convention in Tacoma last week. Thank you to all who attended, and a special thank you to our key sponsors ERNwest and Ballard Spahr/Lane Powell. We are so grateful for the opportunity to bring like-minded people together to learn, network, and have fun. Here’s a quick run-down of everything we did!

We had 45 education sessions across 4 focused tracks, plus our opening and closing keynotes. A special thank you to CardioRenal Vision, Aidan Health Services, Consulting Resources, and Consonus Healthcare for sponsoring our education sessions.

We were honored to recognize the recipients of the 2025 Excellence in Service Awards, as well as the achievements of WHCA members who excelled in advocacy this year and earned prestigious National Quality Awards. Thank you to Ballard Spahr/Lane Powell for sponsoring this special luncheon.

More than 50 exhibitors came out to share their goods and services with our long-term care providers. Thank you to Optum for sponsoring the trade show!

We bowled, we karaoked, we “cheated”, and we had a great time supporting the PAC! We raised $48,250 to support our ongoing advocacy efforts to ensure the interests of long-term care providers are heard and elevated in Olympia. Thank you to our Bowl-A-Rama sponsors!

Didn’t get a chance to join us this year? We hope to see you this fall at the WHCA/IHCA Fall Conference in Spokane, September 8-10!
