Giving Back to those that Give

This year on the 2nd day of the trade show (Tuesday, November 2, 3:00 – 5:00 pm) we are recognizing the hard work and dedication of long term care nurses by “Giving Back to those that Give” and will have a Giving Tree on display in the trade show. THCA is requesting that exhibitors place gift cards (minimum $10 – any type) on the tree. During door prize drawings on that day (4:30 – 5:00 pm) we will draw a name from the list of nurse attendees and one nurse will win the Giving Tree gift cards.  Exhibitors will receive an email this week with more information.
