Nursing Homes Membership:
The Wisconsin Health Care Association is a proactive trade association and a major player in Wisconsin's healthcare spectrum. WHCA is the state's largest and most representative nursing home association. Its members represent a true cross-section of the industry-including proprietary, non-profit and government operated facilities.
As an association, WHCA is actively and professionally involved in virtually every area impacting nursing homes and their business colleagues. Currently, WHCA represents over 250 facilities with over 28,000 employees caring for some 27,000 residents. WHCA staff possess the experience and knowledge needed to understand the nursing home industry. Employees include two attorneys, a government relations specialist, a public relations professional and a reimbursement specialist. They can be depended upon to provide assistance and information on the complex issues of long-term care.
Regular nursing facility memberships in WHCA may be secured with the payment of annual dues, based on the number of licensed beds as of the beginning of a calendar year. Annual dues are billed quarterly and may be prorated, based on enrollment date. Dues may be paid on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Members are also expected to join WHCA's national organization, the American Health Care Association, as part of their membership agreement.
Associate memberships in WHCA are also available. Separate provisions are made for businesses versus individuals. As an Associate Member, you make a statement of support for the industry that supports you. As an insider, the Associate has a marketing edge through the direct access to regular nursing facility members. Annual memberships are available for a flat fee determined at the start of each calendar year. Fees may be prorated based on membership enrollment date.
WHCA nursing homes and Associate Members are colleagues in care-working together to advance and enhance their individual and collective interests.
