Joel Cantor, director of the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy, will present work his Center has been doing to create the State Scorecard. Joe Thompson, director of the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement and the Surgeon General of the State of Arkansas, and Alan Weil, director of the National Academy for State Health Policy, will provide state-level feedback on the measures and how states can use this information.
