Congratulations to the 2018 OHCA Award Winners!

We are pleased to announce the 2018 OHCA Awards recipients, who demonstrate a commitment to quality care through their dedication to residents, staff, and the long term care/community based care profession. The award winners will be formally honored on September 18 at the Annual Convention Awards Luncheon.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the OHCA Awards and the award recipients! We are fortunate to work in a profession where so many go above and beyond every day to provide quality services and care to Oregonians statewide. We encourage you to nominate or renominate the coworkers, leaders, and business associates in your communities next year.
