ShieldForce to Attend the 48th Annual Conference of the Home Care Association of New York State

ShieldForce Corporation will attend the 48th Annual Conference of the Home Care Association of New York State, taking place May 7 and 8, 2026. The conference is among the most significant professional gatherings for home health and hospice organizations operating in New York, drawing executives, clinical directors, compliance leaders, and policy advocates for two days of programming focused on the issues defining home-based care in the state.

About the Home Care Association of New York State

The Home Care Association of New York State represents home health agencies, hospice organizations, managed long-term care plans, and consumer-directed services providers across the state. Its annual conference is the premier professional development and advocacy event for New York's home care sector, serving providers of all sizes, from single-county agencies to large regional networks.

The 48th Annual Conference arrives at a consequential moment for New York home care providers. Ongoing changes to Medicaid reimbursement, electronic visit verification requirements, and workforce regulations are creating new operational and compliance pressures throughout the industry. The conference agenda reflects those realities, with sessions designed to help providers navigate policy, build stronger organizations, and deliver quality care in an increasingly demanding environment.

New York's Home Care Market

New York is one of the largest home health and hospice markets in the country. Thousands of agencies serve patients across the five boroughs, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and upstate communities, each operating within a regulatory framework that is among the most complex in the nation. The risk of data exposure, ransomware, and compliance failures is real, and the stakes are high.

ShieldForce is attending the HCA-NYS conference to connect with providers navigating these conditions and to discuss how purpose-built cybersecurity programs can reduce organizational risk without adding operational burden to teams that are already stretched thin.

Meet the Team in May

Members of the ShieldForce team will be present throughout the conference and available for conversations with executives, IT leaders, compliance officers, and any professional responsible for protecting patient data and organizational systems.

Home care organizations that have outgrown basic security tools or are preparing for a compliance review are especially welcome to connect. ShieldForce offers programs designed around how home health agencies actually operate — not how enterprise IT departments do.
