Nursing Home Financial Stability and Funding Challenges

Join Health Affairs Wednesday, November 20 for a virtual event examining how the loss of public health emergency funds challenges the financial viability of nursing homes.

This event is for Health Affairs Insiders only.

In the November issue of Health Affairs, John Bowblis and colleagues reviewed the impact that the loss of public health funding has on the financial health of nursing homes, especially not-for-profits, in the long term.

Health Affairs Senior Editor Kathleen Haddad and Bowblis will discuss the paper and its implications during a virtual Journal Club.
