The Nebraska Association of Home and Community Health Agencies represents the interests and concerns of home health providers in the state of Nebraska.  Nebraska home care services are provided by home health agencies, hospices, homemaker and home care aide agencies, staffing and private-duty agencies, and medical equipment and supplies, pharmaceuticals and drug infusion therapy companies.  Health and social services are delivered at home to recovering, disabled, chronically or terminally ill adults and children in need of medical, nursing, social or therapeutic treatment and/or assistance.

NAHCHA representatives were in Washington, DC from March 25-28, 2012 to participate in the National Association for Home Care & Hospice’s annual March on Washington & Law Symposium Conference & Exposition. They joined representatives from all 50 states on Capitol Hill and executed their right to petition members of the Senate and House, with the goal to encourage Congress to protect and expand access to home care and hospice services for aged, infirm, disabled, and dying Americans.
