For the WGAL In Focus: Traumatic Brain Injuries episode, Susan Shapiro interviewed PA State Senator Tim Kearney, RCPA President & CEO Richard Edley, Jack Poplar from Success Rehabilitation, Inc. and Ellie Lacasse, mother of a child with a TBI. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services office of Long Term Living released its 2025 Home and Community Based Services rate and wage study, saying that residential rehabilitation, which traumatic brain injury care falls under, is underfunded by 44%. Guests described in detail the challenges faced by these individuals and their family members.

Advocates are calling for an increase, fearing that the system will collapse, leaving tens of thousands without critical care.

Rehabilitation and Community Providers Association (RCPA) has reached a new milestone of more than 400 members! Since its inception eleven years ago, the association has continued to steadily grow. We are excited about the success of the association, not just in terms of the number of members, but also the team we have put together to support this increase.

“Our ability to reach this milestone is a direct result of several factors: our advocacy and work, but also our members recommending RCPA membership to other agencies and organizations,” Richard S. Edley, PhD, President and CEO, shared. “To be clear, this isn’t just about numbers. We strategically set out to be large and diverse, so we can be a strong voice on behalf of our members. Having members and staff in every district in PA, across a range of health and human services and touching so many individuals and families, is meaningful and impactful.”

Do you know an organization that would benefit from RCPA membership? Please contact Tieanna Lloyd, Membership Services/Business Partnerships Manager. The RCPA Board of Directors and Staff thank all of you for your continued support of the association!
