We are glad you are here. This is a well-timed opportunity for all of us to join the conversation on Medicaid and Medicare Integration as well as other massive changes making their way to thousands of Ohio seniors receiving care. States across the country are moving to a managed care approach by integrating acute care with long-term services and supports. Ohio is on the cutting edge by incorporating the long-standing work of AAAs with this movement. Our Advocacy Conference will provide valuable information including: Other states’ experiences What to watch for as consumer advocates Federal and state insights on initiatives Outlook on managed care Ohio stakeholder perspectives
