Nurses who dedicate their careers to caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) hold an essential role in improving the quality of life for this community. That’s why the ID/DD Nurses Association Annual Conference, taking place from September 9-11, 2024, in Glens Falls, NY, is a can’t-miss event for healthcare professionals in this field.

This annual conference is a unique opportunity for nurses to come together from across the state to share the latest advancements in care, explore best practices, and discuss innovative strategies for improving the health outcomes of individuals with ID/DD. Through educational workshops, keynote presentations, and interactive discussions, attendees will gain insights into everything from clinical care improvements to the latest policy updates, ensuring that they return to their communities equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide even better care.

Hudson Regional LTC Pharmacy is proud to be represented by two of our dedicated team members, Dawn Blades and Krystal Ross. Both have played a pivotal role in revitalizing Zone 5 of the ID/DD Nurses Association, and their contributions at this conference underscore our commitment to staying engaged with the broader ID/DD community. By participating in discussions and sharing their expertise, Dawn and Krystal are helping to shape the future of nursing care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The conference’s comprehensive schedule will cover a wide range of topics, from innovations in clinical practices to policy updates that affect the delivery of care. Nurses will also have the opportunity to network with other professionals in the field, sharing their own experiences and learning from peers. It’s an invaluable experience for anyone looking to deepen their expertise and enhance the care they provide.

We are excited to support this important gathering of nursing professionals and are confident that the knowledge shared will help elevate the standard of care for all individuals with ID/DD.
