Monthly Marketing Update- August 2025

We hope you're enjoying a fun and relaxing summer! As we roll into August, we’ve got a few important updates to keep on your radar.

First up: our next Transitions of Care Meeting is tomorrow- Tuesday, August 5th at 11:30 AM. This bi-monthly call brings together providers and case managers from across Oregon and Washington to strengthen collaboration around hospital discharges, readmissions, and start of care coordination.
This month’s agenda includes:
  • Continued planning for Case Management Week in October
  • Exploring strategies to improve communication with non-skilled care settings

Registration is full for the upcoming EvergreenHealth Case Management Fair on September 30th at 11:30 AM. We are working on a second date in April for our sponsors.

Thank you to everyone who took advantage of the $300 early bird discount for the 2026 guide. The discount has now ended, but I truly appreciate any referrals you can share for potential advertisers. We are honored to be the official resource for the Alzheimer’s Association, as well as several hospitals and Area Agencies on Aging.

If you know a business looking to connect with seniors and their families, we offer a one-stop shop with print, online, and networking opportunities. Thank you in advance for helping us continue to grow.

Nugget Of Knowledge
"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong." ~ Mandy Hale

I’ve learned the hard way that giving energy to toxic situations or letting fear of failure take the lead only keeps us stuck. It’s easy to get caught in the drama or doubt, but growth demands that we rise above the noise. This quote is a reminder: change may be uncomfortable, but staying somewhere you’ve outgrown—out of habit, fear, or misplaced loyalty—is far more painful. Choose to pour your energy into what moves you forward, not what holds you back.
