THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN DISRUPTION!
Health Tech 4 Medicaid
We're on a mission to radically change the pace of innovation in Medicaid, improving quality, equity and access to care.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN DISRUPTION!
At our annual "Future of Medicaid Innovation" meeting at JPM, we unveiled that our word for the year is to?"DISRUPT"?and we intend?on radically taking on the reigns of change.?I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your many compassionate actions – as community leaders, volunteers, partners, contributors – and what they have meant to our HT4M community, Medicaid recipients, and to me, both professionally and personally.?You have helped to build our foundation--one invite to conference or presentation, connection?to potential collaborator, monetary donation at a time.?
I came to non-profit leadership untraditionally as a epidemiologist and hospital leader, and I have found this work to be the hardest and most rewarding-- with many of you courageously standing beside me to change for social justice and deliberately to address racism and discrimination which deeply impact health disparities and those on Medicaid.
Stepping up during critical times is as important as being steadfast in our commitment to community priorities. HT4M?will continue to advance health and tech equity by finding the best ways of convening together, surfacing?and solving?tough problems, pushing out insights, being a market-based enabler to develop impact in the ecosystem, and strengthen communities to find long-term solutions to challenges facing Medicaid.
I am personally committed to HT4M and?will continue to give, advocate and volunteer for the quality and duration of Medicaid lives.?With gratitude, I’m sharing that this year we will be asking for more.?Be prepared!
Alongside?you, I am in good company.?So thank you again for your many deliberate actions, support, partnership, and friendship.?I remain grateful, humbled, and inspired.
Continuously in the fight!
