Brandon Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Administrator, Ben Higgins, LNHA, has been selected to participate in the 13th Annual Future Leaders of Long Term Care in America program hosted by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL).
Participants for this prestigious program “have demonstrated leadership potential and an interest in representing the interests of LTC (long term care) providers at the state and national levels,” according to the AHCA/NCAL website.
After a competitive review process, Higgins was chosen, among 37 other long-term care professionals across the nation. Higgins is the only representative from the state of Virginia. The Future Leaders of Long Term Care in America program spans 12 months and will begin with a three-day training session with other healthcare leaders across the nation in September.
“To be selected is an honor, but more so, I am excited to learn from other successful leaders in the long term care industry and bring that knowledge back to the Roanoke community,” states Higgins. By honing their knowledge and leadership skills, Higgins, and other selected future leaders, will help advance quality and promote the profession’s mission of providing the highest quality, resident-centered care for frail, elderly and disabled Americans.
