The leading voice for Pennsylvania's healthcare and living communities

The Pennsylvania Coalition of Affiliated Healthcare & Living Communities (PACAH) was formed in 1951 to represent county nursing facilities across the Commonwealth. Now, PACAH represents long-term living and supports providers and associated businesses, including county, veterans, private, and non-profit nursing facilities, and is dedicated to advancing excellence and improving the quality of care and life through legislative and regulatory advocacy, innovation, education, and professional networking. PACAH's goal is to provide a level of service to PACAH members that offers direction through the constant communication we have with PACAH members, the state legislature, and state agencies.

PACAH is an affiliate organization of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) which gives us the benefit of receiving advocacy and other supportive services from CCAP as well as a seat on CCAP’s Human Services Committee which is tasked with developing human services policy for the association.
