Partners
IHCA maintains several partnerships with other associations and programs in order to offer our member centers access to goods and services that will assist them in their day-to-day operations. See below for more information on IHCA/ICAL's partners in care.

National Association of Health Care Assistants
The National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA) works with direct care assistants in order to elevate the professional standing and performance of caregivers through recognition, advocacy, education and empowerment while building a strong alliance with health care providers to maximize success and quality patient care.
Nursing Assistants provide over 90% of the direct patient care and make up the largest group of employees working in health care facilities today. Through membership in their association, NAHCA offers nursing assistants and other direct care workers support and educational opportunities to further their careers.
In 2016, NAHCA partnered with IHCA. The collaborative partnership between the two non-profit associations will allow NAHCA to work closely with Illinois providers of long term care to recognize the valuable humanitarian service of CNAs and other direct caregivers and promote quality care in long term care centers. NAHCA has bridged the gap between caregivers and centers, promoting recognition, education and motivation for its members.
