About PACAH
Pennsylvania Coalition of Affiliated Healthcare & Living Communities
Our Mission
The leading voice for Pennsylvania’s diverse healthcare and living communities, dedicated to advancing excellence and improving the quality of care and life through legislative and regulatory advocacy, innovation, education and professional networking provided in a close-knit and affordable setting.
Our History
Founded in 1951, PACAH grew from a coalition rooted in county nursing facilities into a statewide association representing diverse healthcare and living communities and associated businesses. For more than seven decades, we have stood with Pennsylvania providers to advance excellence and improve the quality of care and life.
Who We Represent
County Nursing Facilities — Serving communities through county-operated care settings.
Veterans Facilities — Supporting those who served and the teams who care for them.
Private Nursing Facilities — Partnering with private providers committed to quality.
Nonprofit Nursing Facilities — Advancing mission-driven care across the Commonwealth.
PACAH also connects associated businesses that support Pennsylvania’s healthcare and living communities.
Broader Field Context
PACAH works within Pennsylvanias and the nation’s long-term care and aging-services landscape alongside peer organizations such as LeadingAge, AHCA/NCAL, and the Pennsylvania Health Care Association (PHCA). Our focus remains the distinctive needs of PACAH’s diverse member communities.
