Highlights from the 2025 Spring Expo

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week in Salem for the 2025 OHCA Spring Expo! The theme of this year’s event was “Growing Together.” This theme highlights one of the central tenants of long term care: working together to improve the quality of care we provide. This was our biggest Spring Expo yet, with more than 800 provider registrants along with our staff, volunteers, exhibitors, and sponsors! The event was a huge success, filled with great energy and valuable educational trainings. We loved being able to connect with long term care professionals, sponsors, and exhibitors face-to-face.

Our friend, Lou Radja, kicked off the event with a lively keynote speech on Ubuntu leadership, emphasizing the idea that our differences are what bring us together and make us stronger.

Following the morning’s informational education sessions, attendees had lunch and walked through the bustling tradeshow where they made valuable connections with exhibitors and business partners. Thank you to everyone who came by the OHCA booth and updated their facility’s contacts! We greatly appreciate your participation.

Day 1 concluded with an all-attendee free happy hour and fun Minute-to-Win-it games!

Day 2 began with a meet-and-greet coffee hour with ODHS policy analysts and was followed by more valuable education sessions and sector updates.

Thank you to all of the attendees, speakers, volunteers and business partner members for joining us!
