The meeting is intended for consumer and provider groups working on health care issues affecting low-income children and families.  On March 17, we will host an afternoon communications training session, followed by a welcome reception in the evening. March 18 will consist of a full day of information sharing on the status of national health reform, options to advance coverage through the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), and new strategies for moving forward.

This meeting is one of a series of regional meetings that the Georgetown Center for Children and Families is running, and NEACH is pleased to co-sponsor the northeast gathering. Thanks to generous support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and The Atlantic Philanthropies, there is no registration fee for this meeting.
