National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD) 2021 Conference

Medicaid, Medicare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are critical programs supporting the health and well-being of some of America’s most vulnerable groups, from pregnant women to children to low-income elderly to people with disabilities. And, as people’s needs change and evolve, so, too, do the needs of Medicaid programs and services.

We’re proud to participate in the 2021 National Association of Medicaid Directors Fall Conference showcasing our capabilities related to government-sponsored healthcare. We believe Medicaid Directors can greatly benefit from our evidence-based and multi-disciplinary approach to solving complex challenges and real-life solutions across diverse communities and the most vulnerable populations. As a global leader in research, evaluation, and program implementation, we’ve been driving innovation and measurable impact for government- sponsored health programs for more than 50 years.
