Rhode Island Health Care Association

What Rhode Island Health Care Association does

Rhode Island Health Care Association (RIHCA) is a private, non-profit trade association headquartered at 57 Kilvert Street, Suite 200, in Warwick, Rhode Island. RIHCA represents more than 80% of the state's skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, serving as the recognized industry voice for operators of skilled nursing, rehabilitation, subacute, and long-term care services. Its principal activities are state and federal advocacy, continuing education and training, quality improvement programming (including QAPI and quality awards), and workforce development for the long-term care workforce.

RIHCA generates revenue through two main streams: annual membership dues from facility members and associate business members (vendors providing products and services to the long-term care industry), and registration fees for educational seminars and signature events such as the Annual Trade Show Awards Luncheon & Quality Symposium and the Annual Golf Outing. Member pricing is differentiated from non-member pricing, with event registration at $60 for members and $85 for non-members. The organization operates as the Rhode Island state affiliate of the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and, through that affiliation, connects members to the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL), extending representation across the full long-term care continuum.

RIHCA's product and service portfolio comprises Education & Seminars, Quality Improvement Programs (including QAPI and quality reports), Legislative & Advocacy Services (PAC, grassroots organizing, policy advocacy at the state and federal levels), Workforce Development (including the CNAOnline Member Benefit and licensing/regulations support), and two member directories (Facility Members and Associate Business Members). RIHCA is not a technology company; it does not operate a software product, API, or proprietary AI system, and its website (www.rihca.com) is committed to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and operates as an independent member-supported entity with no parent corporate, venture, or private equity ownership.
