Hi Medicaid Coalition members,

I hope that you are having a great week! I wanted to remind everyone to please register for two fantastic upcoming coalition calls with Families USA and our partners on May 22nd and 23rd.

Webinar - Achieving the Gold Standard of Care: Transforming Pregnancy-related Medicaid Coverage to be More Holistic and Patient-centered: To build on our issue brief, we are hosting a panel discussion on May 22nd from 1-2 PM EST with national, state, and community-based experts. During Achieving the Gold Standard of Care: Transforming Pregnancy-related Medicaid Coverage to be More Holistic and Patient-centered, attendees will hear from experts about the importance of improving access to Medicaid pregnancy coverage by expanding covered benefits and ensuring better integration of the non-clinical community-based workforce, including doulas.
