What You Missed: 2021 Maryland Health Policy Conference
Share this:
Too often, those with good ideas for reforming health care don’t have a solid understanding of how the legislative process works. Those who understand politics don’t always comprehend the intricacies of the health care system. State of Reform seeks to bridge the gap between health care and health policy. The Maryland health policy conference provides a unique, policy agnostic, platform for engagement to create meaningful reform.
We would like to thank our panelists, attendees, and sponsors for showing up ready to think through these unique challenges.
Check out our What You Missed video above and we hope to see you in-person next year!
