On October 23, members, partners, and post-acute care professionals gathered for the 73rd Annual Fall Convention & Expo at the beautiful Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake. WHCA/WiCAL kicked off day one of Convention with impactful educational programming and the always fun, Opening Night Reception. Day two of Convention was an event-packed day, with educational programming, the annual Awards Ceremony & Luncheon, and the Business Partner Expo & Happy Hour. WHCA/WICAL awarded $1,700 in cash to lucky Golden Ticket holders during the Expo! The October 25th closing ceremony was the perfect end-cap to a successful Convention.
