Who is I.A.D.A.?

The Philosophy of the Association is to join together as professionals who share interest and goals;

dealing with the public, in general, and the Government agencies and bureaus in particular,
as part of the health facility team, for the benefit of both the facility and the
patient/resident/client.
I.A.D.A. Code of Ethics
IADA recognizes the responsibility of our profession to the chronically ill, the convalescent,
the aged, their friends and the people of this state, and believes that it is our solemn duty to
