The California Association of Long Term Care Medicine (CALTCM) is conducting a survey to evaluate the barriers residents may experience to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The survey is anonymous and should only take 3-4 minutes to complete. Your responses will help us shape education to increase vaccine confidence, improve vaccination rates, and promote the well-being of those in our care.

Innovative Vaccination Program in High-Risk Residents of Skilled Nursing Facilities (VAC-SNF): A Multicentered, Prospective, Interprofessional Education and Implementation Study

Thank you to all the Delegates who represented California in the House of Delegates at PALTC25! CALTCM proudly welcomes the CA Futures to CALTCM. We hope you enjoy a few photos from PALTC25 events in Charlotte, March 12-15, 2025.

I am deeply honored to accept the presidency of the California Association of Long-Term Care Medicine for the next two years as we celebrate 50 years of leadership in advocating for high-quality care across California. 

Our commitment to improving patient outcomes, supporting professional development, and shaping public policy has made a lasting impact on countless lives. 

Looking ahead, we will continue to advance post-acute and long-term care medicine, championing policies that benefit our patients and facilities, while fostering innovation and collaboration. 

I am grateful for the dedication of our members and partners, and I look forward to building on the incredible legacy of this exceptional organization.

It’s an exciting time as we kick-off CALTCM’s 50th Annual Meeting, the 2024 CALTCM Summit for Excellence, with a new slate of officers to the positions within the CALTCM board.

As immediate Past President, I look back over the last 2 years with great pride in our accomplishments. We can celebrate that our collective voice in PALTC is being heard. The Policy & Professional Service Committee's has magnified our voice with their steady interactions with CDPH. The initiation of a Behavioral Health Task Force is magnifying our efforts to improving the quality of care in our communities. CALTCM continues to longitudinally grow both financially (over $800,000 in grants), with its professional status and respect by other organizations, and with a growing membership. CALTCM is a great example of how interdisciplinary teams can work together with common interests and goals while simultaneously improving the quality of care in PALTC.

With sincere respect and gratitude to each and every member who assists with the care of older adults everyday, and your support to CALTCM as volunteer teammates, we can achieve an infinite number of goals with quality and pride.

It is not good-bye for me, it's see you later!
