You have helped make Annals of Long-Term Care an authoritative source for the highest quality, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information that the interdisciplinary team practicing in long-term care settings turns to each month. Your input is valuable to us, so please send your comments, questions, and input for us to mschulz@hmpcommunications.com.
