PHOENIX, Arizona (February 24, 2020) -- In an effort to reduce costs and boost attendance, Medtrade Spring will move from Las Vegas to Phoenix, Arizona, next year, show officials announced Monday. 

The show, which will also be renamed "Medtrade West," will run April 12-14, 2021, and will also undergo a shift in format, with much less time overlap for the educational sessions and the expo. 

Homecare companies should keep safety in mind

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (April 17, 2019)—Homecare companies and their employees should be aware that many older adults have easy access to guns—even if some who are mentally impaired or easily agitated—and should discuss safety measures, Mary Ellen Conway, Chief Compliance Officer for US MED, said Tuesday.

Homecare talked to Conway on Tuesday at Medtrade Spring in Las Vegas, Nevada, after a study was released revealing that many older adults have access to firearms in their homes.
