CONNECTIONS & EDUCATION

Our events and educational opportunities give providers the opportunity to connect with industry experts and partners and their peers from across the state to stay up-to-date on best practices, connect over challenges and successes, and advocate for programs and clients. 


In 2025, IACCPHP held:

  • The 2025 Mary I. Hill Homecare Aide of the Year Awards which honored 4 dedicated aides from across the state and recognized 18 additional aides with honorable mentions. 
  • Our Annual Meeting where we welcomed over 150 attendees and provided a full day of sessions focused on best practices, legislative updates, industry expertise.
  • A networking reception for over 100 attendees as part of our partnership with the Illinois Department on Aging for their 2025 Conference.  


"The networking opportunities opened doors to partnerships we would never have found on our own. We’ve connected with other agencies, shared resources, and learned best practices that improved both our operations and the quality of care we provide. Their training programs and member updates have helped keep our staff compliant, informed, and confident during times of policy change."
