Join us on August 24th for a virtual presentation from Health Net and community providers about their experience implementing the first phase of CalAIM – a nationally relevant initiative to transform California’s Medi-Cal system and drive health equity.

This presentation will focus on the Community Supports, a core component of CalAIM designed to address social determinants of health, and include lessons learned from implementation as well as insights for the broader initiative’s future. From Community Supports to Enhanced Care Management, from new patient populations to CBO involvement in the health care system, California has been implementing some major health policy changes this year.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to hear about how Health Net and its community partners are collaborating with the state to strengthen the safety net.
