Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) August 19, 2016 -- More than 350 Indiana nurses, nursing assistants, health facility administrators, clinical staff, and others working in long term care and assisted living centers across the state will be in attendance at the 2016 IHCA/INCAL Convention & Expo, August 22-23, at the Sheraton Hotel at Keystone at the Crossing. Caregivers will participate in two days of education on recent and impending regulatory changes and new technologies in the industry, helping them to better prepare for the challenges of caring for an aging population.
