WEBINAR TOPIC

Updates on HR 1 Efforts in California and the Rural Health Transformation Opportunity

Earlier this year, the Republican majority in Congress and President Trump enacted H.R. 1 (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act or OBBBA). CalHHS leadership will provide the latest efforts to address the bill's impacts on safety-net programs in California. The session will also provide an update on the state’s application for the Rural Health Transformation Program and the opportunity to strengthen health care access, quality and outcomes in rural communities through innovative system transformation.
