“Moving Beyond Planning” – SCI’s Summer Workshop for State Officials
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s State Coverage Initiatives (SCI) program is pleased to present a summer workshop for state officials titled, “Moving Beyond Planning.” The meeting will be held July 28–29 at Le Meridien Hotel, Chicago.

We have lined up a dynamic group of speakers who will address various state health care issues, including:

  • Leveraging new funding sources for coverage expansions;
  • The future of Medicaid and SCHIP from the state and federal perspective;
  • Getting employer participation in public/private partnerships;
  • Consumer-directed health care; and
  • Controlling costs at the system level.

This workshop is primarily open to state officials. There is no registration fee. To access a preliminary agenda and updated meeting information or to register online, visit SCI’s Web site.
