Catalyzing Healthcare Partnerships
Monday, January 28, and Tuesday, January 29
Across the Lutheran Services in America network, Medicaid and Medicare represent the largest source of revenue as we support the country’s most vulnerable people. In recent years, the landscape of publicly financed healthcare spending has and continues to shift, with Medicaid managed care organizations (payers) and Medicare Advantage playing an increasingly important role in cost management and resource allocation, including in addressing health-related social needs (or social determinants of health).

Panelists across both sessions include:
- Tricia McGinnis, Executive Vice President and Chief Program Officer, Center for Healthcare Strategies
