This initiative demonstrates a proactive approach to improving care outcomes by tying funding to key quality measures. It’s heartening to see states like Pennsylvania taking steps to address the pressing need for quality care for our state’s aging population.

By highlighting the voices of industry leaders like Zach Shamberg and Matthew Maurano, the article underscores the collective commitment to delivering high-quality care despite financial challenges.
