Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has announced the creation of a New Long-Term Care Commission “to ensure access to quality, affordable health care with the signing of an Executive Order establishing the Pennsylvania Long-Term Care Commission.”
The commission’s stated mission is to “… develop recommendations focused on improving the current long-term care system, including identifying effective ways to provide a better coordinated approach to delivering services and support, and ensuring quality health care for older Pennsylvanians and individuals with physical disabilities.”
The commission is expected to deliver its findings and recommendations to the governor by December.
