Value Plus program
THCA/TNCAL’s Value Plus program allows members to save money on the association’s educational offerings throughout the year. Facilities pay either $1,250 or $2,000 and receive $2,000 or $3,000 in education credits, respectively. This program is a great option if your facility has many employees and/or you tend to send several employees to THCA webinars and courses. Enrollment is closed for 2025; watch this space for information about the 2026 program!
THCA/TNCAL’s Convention & Trade Show is the association’s signature event of the year, a time when Tennessee’s long-term care professionals can come together for education, networking, and a true sense of community. This year, however, the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges unlike any our industry has seen before. THCA’s Board of Directors and staff have been considering the feasibility of holding a major event amid social distancing recommendations, restrictions on large gatherings, and the particular dangers of the virus to the elderly population.
