How does risk and compliance play a part in assuring continued success? And what are some of the industry's lessons-learned and best-practices?

Medical Cannabis Plenary Outlines  
A New Clinical Paradigm in Long-Term Care
 
Long considered far-fetched, medical uses of cannabis have become more mainstream in recent years. This plenary session on Tuesday morning April 28 will focus on the experiences of three AJAS member facilities in introducing and utilizing medical cannabis as part of a treatment plan in long-term care.   
   
 
 
 

Students Participate in Hanukkah Meals-on-Wheels Program
Jewish Home Family
(Rockleigh, NJ)
 
Culinary students from Torah Academy of Bergen County (TABC) helped out with the Jewish Home Family's annual Chanukah Meals on Wheels program in December.  
 
The program distributes over 300 meals to those in need across the region on Chanukah and other holidays. The students are part of an ongoing collaboration between the eldercare nonprofit and the yeshiva high school to gain familiarity with industrial kitchens and hospitality in an inter-generational setting. 
 


AJAS Conference: Sunday Morning Hike at Red Rocks
 

Before the AJAS conference officially gets underway, take an opportuni ty to get some fresh mountain air during a hike in Red Rocks Park on Su nd ay morning April 26.

The Trading Post trail at Red Rocks takes you around 10 of the park's giant red rock formations. It's an easy, short, 1.4-mile loop hike just 25 min utes from downtown Denver.
   
The Trading Post trail weaves through some of Colorado's most majestic red rock formations, into meadows and provides great views of Red Rocks park.
 
 
The hike will be led by Denver residents (and AJAS members) Michael Klein and Marc Penner. Bus transportation to the park will be provided. The cost of the hike is $20 and we will return to the hotel in plenty of time for opening festivities and sessions later that day.  
 
If you're interested in joining in the hike at an additional charge, please go back to CVENT and update your registration.
