On February 26, Chapman Consulting proudly hosted its first-ever Medicare convening in Sacramento, bringing together 140 leaders from across California’s Medicare and aging ecosystem for a day of learning, collaboration, and connection.
We welcomed representatives from health plans, provider organizations, community-based organizations, philanthropy, state agencies, and advocacy groups to discuss the evolving Medicare landscape and the opportunities ahead for improving care for older adults. The convening was designed to foster cross-sector relationships, share insights from state leaders and national experts, and create space for thoughtful dialogue on how to advance equitable, person-centered, and integrated care for Medicare beneficiaries across California.
Throughout the day, discussions focused on key issues shaping the future of Medicare and aging services in the state, including strengthening coordination across healthcare and community-based systems, advancing integrated care models for older adults with complex medical and social needs, supporting people living with dementia and their caregivers, and improving alignment between Medicare and Medi-Cal for dually eligible Californians. The conversations reinforced the importance of collaboration across sectors to build a more coordinated and responsive system for California’s aging population.

We are appreciative of everyone who joined us and helped create space for thoughtful discussion, relationship-building, and shared learning. The enthusiasm in the room reinforced how important it is to bring this community together and ensure there are opportunities for stakeholders to collaborate and exchange ideas.
We are excited to build on the momentum of this first convening and make it an annual event! While the 2026 convening was intentionally invitation-only and limited in size, we look forward to expanding participation in the future. If this is a conversation you would like to be part of, we encourage you to reach out—the 2027 Convening is already in the works. Mark your calendars now, and save the date of Thursday, February 11, 2027!
