What’s Happening on the ANCOR Connected Community?

The ANCOR Connected Community (ACC) is where the ANCOR Community comes together, no matter where you are. If it’s been awhile since you’ve logged into the ACC, there’s no time like the present to check out what you’ve been missing and jump into the conversation! This article offers a brief snapshot of what you’ve been missing.

Non-Medicaid Sources of Funding

With uncertainty about how the current political landscape and proposed cuts to Medicaid funding could impact disability services, there’s been a timely discussion about non-Medicaid sources of revenue.

The conversation makes clear that the threat of severe cuts to the program, which is already underfunded and inadequate to meet the needs of every person with disabilities in America, has members thinking critically about how they can protect access to the services they deliver.

From consulting services to the delivery of technical assistance to applying for privately funded grants, ANCOR members across the country are asking questions and sharing ideas that could be the source of inspiration for your own organization. Get up to speed on the conversation.

I’m Looking for a Solution to…

One of the top reasons ANCOR members connect on the ACC is the opportunity to identify tools, resources and solutions to the challenges of the day.

In one ANCOR Forum thread, a member is looking to reevaluate their current accounting software and see if there are more flexible options that can more easily adapt to future needs. This has prompted a helpful thread with input from members in West Virginia, New York, Wisconsin and Kansas all jumping in to share their experience and recommendations.

In another thread, an ANCOR member wonders about her peers’ experiences integrating their documentation platform with their pharmacy management platform, which prompted several responses about what has worked well for others.

Is today the day you head on over to the ACC to get help with that question that’s been nagging at you for a little too long?

It’s Member Appreciation Week!

This week is our annual Member Appreciation Week! To celebrate, we’ve leaned into the popularity of quick New York Times-style word games to give your brain a break and give members a chance to take a time out for something fun. What we didn’t know is that an ANCOR-themed Wordle would be the source of one member’s pure joy in finally learning how to play the game. Find out what we’re talking about by reading her reflection and consider adding your own!

That’s all for now. But don’t wait for these monthly newsletters to let you in on what’s been going on in the ACC. Visit the ACC today!
