Upcoming April 12-13 Innovation Summit Goes 100% Virtual! |
|
Due to the emergence and increase of Omicron across the country, with attendees and speakers reluctant to travel, and for the safety of all our members and guests, the PHA Board decided it was best to make our upcoming 2022 Innovation Summit & Capitol Caucus set for April 12-13 to go completely virtual—with no longer a hybrid in-person option.
"We remain committed to highlighting the good work of our members and providing networking opportunities for all attendees. Our virtual event platform is sure to deliver on that promise," explains PHA Chairman EmeritusRose Maljanian.
Our spring virtual event will include key senior executives from across the health care spectrum for two days of discussion. Our program, “Innovative Population Health Management Strategies to Recover Losses and Accelerate Gains,” will feature a slate of compelling speakers and presentations, taking on pertinent topics of the day, such as:
- Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
- Industry challenges and transformative strategies
- Digital health: optimized engagement and outcomes
- Innovations in investments & capital
- Behavioral health
- COVID challenges and opportunities
- Data & advanced analytics
With the event just around the corner, time will soon be running out. And just so no one misses out, we have extended our Early Bird rates for just a little longer. But don't delay to register, reserve your seat and lock in on savings by acting today! Early Bird rates expire soon!

PHA Hosts Special Webinar on Food Access and Nutrition in the Medicaid Program |
|
On January 21st, PHA hosted a special webinar to showcase and share key findings and strategies gleaned from our recently released report, "Addressing Nutrition and Food Access in Medicaid."
Understanding that access to affordable, healthy food is fundamental to the population’s health and well-being—and without such access, individuals face greater risk of disease and increased health care costs—PHA joined with experts from two other leading organizations to discuss and address the challenges to food access and good nutrition in the 28-page report, a collaborative effort from PHA, The Food Trust, and the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation of Harvard Law School (CHLPI). The report, an initiative of PHA's Quality and Research Committee, highlights opportunities for food access organizations, health care payers, and policymakers to leverage funding from state Medicaid programs to improve access to nutrition interventions in health care settings.
“PHA remains committed to addressing social determinants of health and health inequities. Sourcing adequate nutrition in particular is critical for health and is often lacking in communities under economic stress,” explained John Haughton, MD, MS, Chair of PHA’s Quality and Research Committee. “Solving how to ensure reliable access to food in your community and at scale can be challenging. Our collective newly released work offers specific actions that can be taken to increase food availability and demonstrates how these actions fit within broader Medicaid funding and policy frameworks for the betterment of individuals and communities at large.”
