Regional Chapters
HCP membership
provides eligibility to join HCP's regional
Chapters.
These create a strong voice at the local
level, and advise HCP on region-specific issues.
HCP Web site
The HCP Web site includes
a free listing for all members. Consumers and case
managers can use the search
engine to find home care agencies that serve
the county in which they are interested. Members
have the option to link listings with their
own sites. The Members Only section has the
latest news and information on
home care; a repository of home care documents;
discounted pricing on home care publications;
help in applying for grants; and more!
The HCP Insider
Focused on the
"hot" topics and published weekly,
The HCP Insider gives members late-breaking
information critical to home care providers and is
recognized by members as one of the most valuable HCP services. The HCP Insider
is now distributed via email in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format.
This offers the best of both worlds: the speed and immediacy of
email plus the attractiveness and reading ease
of the printed version. Approximately one year's worth of
back issues are available in the Members Only
section.
HCP Action Alerts
Sent out as needed via email and fax, HCP
Action Alerts include information of extreme urgency
and let members know of new developments that need immediate attention.

administrator of The Trust.
