Highlights from Upcoming Pennsylvania Elder Law Institute on July 23 & 24

Probably the best bang for your CLE buck in Pennsylvania comes from the two-day Elder Law Institute hosted each summer by the Pennsylvania Bar Institute. This year the 18th annual event is on July 23 & 24 in Harrisburg. 

Highlights include:

• “The Year in Review” with attorneys Marielle Hazen and Robert Clofine sharing duties to report on key legislative, regulatory and judicial developments from the last 12 months;
• How to “maximize” eligibility for home and community based services (Steve Feldman and Pam Walz);
• Cross disciplinary discussions of end-of-life care with medical professionals and hospice providers;
• LTC “provider” perspectives (Kimber Latsha and Jacqueline Shafer);
• Latest on proposals to change Veterans’ Pension Benefits (Dennis Pappas);
• Implementation of the Pa Supreme Court’s Elder Law Task Force Recommendations (Judges Lois Murphy, Paula Ott, Sheila Woods-Skipper & Christin Hamel);
• A closing session opportunity, “Let’s Ask the Department of Human Services Counsel” (with Addie Abelson, Mike Newell & Lesley Oakes)

There is still time to registration (you can attend one or both days; lunches are included and there is a reception the first evening).  

I think this is the first year I have missed this key opportunity for networking and updates; but I’m sending my research assistant!
