Join us on January 31 at 12:00pm for a discussion on CalAIM with Alex Briscoe from the California Children's Trust. CalAIM, or California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal initiative, is a far-reaching, multiyear plan to transform California’s Medi-Cal program and to make it integrate more seamlessly with other social services. Led by California’s Department of Health Care Services, the goal of CalAIM is to improve outcomes for the millions of Californians covered by Medi-Cal, especially those with the most complex needs.

At this meeting attendees will learn more about CalAIM and how providers serving children and families might be able to tap into the CalAim funding stream. The presenter will identify the complexities of CalAIM, what is covered and learn about funding opportunities that are available
