Thursday, February 3, 2022 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET
On Thursday, February 3, 2022, you are invited to joinHealth Affairs for the next installment of our Policy Spotlight series, featuring Mandy K. Cohen, the former Secretary of the North
Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. A true innovator with extensive experience leading complex health organizations, including as Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Cohen will talk about what was accomplished in North Carolina during her tenure, what her successor can now take up, and how the state can serve as a model for others looking to step up their own work on social drivers of health and health equity.
The conversation will be moderated byJoanne Kenen, the Commonwealth Fund Journalist in Residence at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a contributing editor to Politico Magazine. Additional topics will include how the coronavirus pandemic slowed progress in some ways and created opportunities in others, and -- if it’s ever revived -- how a workaround for the Medicaid gap in the Build Back Better legislation could help states tackle health challenges, including equity, free of Obamacare politics.

questions in advance to [email protected] and we will make every effort, in the limited time available, to have them addressed. Priority will be given to topics relevant to the widest swath of the audience.
