Advocacy Forum Logo FINAL

Join us June 5-7 for MHPA’s inaugural Advocacy Leadership Forum at The Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C.!

MHPA’s premier Advocacy Leadership Forum brings together a diverse group of Medicaid managed care professionals for three days of education, advocacy, and networking with policy experts, Members of Congress, and Administration officials. 

Gain insight into healthcare policy. Elevate legislative priorities. Collaborate with industry colleagues and guarantee that the policy interests of Medicaid-managed care are represented amidst a divisive political climate. 

We know that Medicaid-managed care improves the lives of millions of constituents in states and congressional districts across the country. Unfortunately, federal budget cuts, overreaching legislation, and harmful regulations often threaten the managed care delivery system’s ability to best meet the needs of vulnerable populations. 

REGISTER

MHPA’s Advocacy Leadership Forum is open to MHPA Health Plan Members only. Registration includes admission to the Forum sessions, (2) breakfasts, (1) lunch, refreshment breaks, welcome reception, and bus transportation to Capitol Hill.
