ASHA joined with the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC), LeadingAge, and the National Continuing Care Residents Association (NaCCRA) in a letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz on the need to address the longstanding shortages in our caregiving workforce. As the Administration’s health care leaders, the letter seeks reconsideration of the recent terminations of the humanitarian programs that have provided legal status and worker authorization, including Temporary Protected Status (TPS). We also called attention to the need to work with Congress on reform legislation that will create new and additional pathways for foreign workers so we can meet the needs of our aging population.  Click here for the full letter.
