Hi folks,

I wanted to pass along this information about an upcoming training opportunity. See below for details.

1915 b/c Medicaid Waiver Training

by Open Minds

Tuesday, April 20, 2010 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm


Village Inn Hotel, Golf & Conference Center, Clemmons, NC


We invite you to attend a unique learning opportunity with Dr. John Talbot, Executive Vice President and Senior Associate from Open Minds to discover the potential impact of the 1915 b/c Medicaid Waiver in North Carolina. Dr. Talbot is a national expert and state consultant on Federal Medicaid waivers and served as the President of the Colorado Care Management, a network of agencies that received national recognition for demonstrated measurable superior clinical outcomes under a Federal waiver.

Attendees will learn about
1) examples of highly effective 1915 b/c waivers in other states;
2) challenges other states have experienced in implementing the 1915 b/c waivers;
3) the potential impact of the waiver across the mental health, juvenile justice and social service systems in NC and
4) how key stakeholders can prepare for this change.

Registration is open to members and non-members of CFSA-NC. Seating is limited so early registration is encouraged.

To register, please complete a separate form for each registrant which can be found here.
This training is open to members and non-members of CFSA-NC so please share with others as appropriate.

Hope you can make it. Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks,
Rob Thompson
