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!
