VIEW ALL UPCOMING OHCA EDUCATIONAL EVENTS AT OHCA.COM/EVENTS This year, OHCA’s education and events calendar saw significant changes. Following the first instance of COVID-19 in Oregon, we made the difficult decision of canceling the Spring Expo and moved our remaining schedule of events online. We learned a lot about offering virtual education and improved along the way! We’d like to take the time to thank our education attendees for your patience, for sharing ideas and needs, and for joining us online for the high quality educational content. We’d also like to thank our business partners who stuck with us during this challenging year, despite facing uncertainties and financial impacts due to the pandemic. We rely on our business partners to be able to offer affordable education and resources for provider members. Thank you for your support. Please remember to turn to OHCA business partners first when looking for vendors and service providers. As we prepare for 2021, we look forward to serving you, our members, and to providing you and your staff with high- quality, timely education.
