Funders in Illinois who are invested in the State’s Behavioral Health Care system, including Medicaid and privately funded care, as well as funders that want to learn more about behavioral health, are invited to join this briefing to learn more about efforts by the General Assembly and the state to improve care delivery and sustain the behavioral workforce. This event is designed to be a legislative and policy update for behavioral health grantmakers and those that pass through grants to subcontractors for behavioral health services.
Learn how advocates such as the Community Behavioral Healthcare Association (CBHA) will coordinate with the Office of Medicaid Innovation and other stakeholders to launch the Administrative Burden Task Force and participate in discussion and Q&A.
