Workforce Challenges HARRISBURG,
Pa (Nov. 15, 2023) On Friday, Nov. 17, Sen. Dave
Argall will join caregivers at Providence Place Senior Living of Pine Grove to
address new legislative priorities that will break
down barriers preventing the long-term care sector from growing its workforce.

caused less access to senior care services. To address these concerns and
legislative solutions that can improve career entry accessibility for
interested caregivers, Sen. Argall and PHCA will hold a press conference to
introduce the pending legislation and speak to the importance of the critical
careers necessary to care for our rapidly increasing older population. Attendees will include:
