The status of the PA state budget continues to impact every provider, insurer, and health care organization. With funding in limbo and federal Medicaid cuts already causing disruptions in services, providers are having to work together and create unique solutions to funding and providing patients with quality care.

At the 2025 RCPA Conference Strive to Thrive, RCPA is hosting an Agency Leadership Discussion Panel comprised of experts who have been following the status of Pennsylvania’s budget. The panel will include professional input from:

Paul Dlugolecki
Brier Dlugolecki Strategies
Jack Phillips
Novak Strategies
Jenn Tyler
Wojdak Government Relations

Join this panel on Wednesday, September 10, in the Crystal A room, from 3:15 pm – 4:15 pm, where they will:

  • Discuss the current status of the budget and potential timelines;
  • Analyze the impacts of the budget impasse and the budget itself on providers and health care organizations;
  • Share strategies that providers are using to continue providing care to their patients; and
  • Host a Q&A with attendees for an open, honest discussion on what is happening and what providers can do to support themselves and others.
Register today for the 2025 Conference and reserve your seat. View the Registration Brochure for complete details regarding our schedule, booking a hotel room, and more!

Only a few days remain before the end of the fiscal year, and lawmakers are close to finalizing the state’s 2022/23 General Fund budget. Because of your direct outreach over the last few months, our workforce issues remain among their top priorities.

According to reporting by The Associated Press: “… difficulty in finding workers to care for children, the elderly and disabled has budget-makers eyeing more subsidies for those professions.”

You have been tireless advocates for this issue, making lawmakers understand how this workforce crisis is affecting our most vulnerable individuals and families, as well as the providers and professionals who serve them. Let us build on this momentum.

With budget negotiations about to end, if you haven’t done so already, please contact your state senator and representative TODAY and tell them to increase funding to support human services professionals. And please ask your networks to do the same.

Time is of the essence right now. What happens over the next few days will determine the level of care individuals and families in need receive over the next year, and whether providers and professionals can continue to support them.
