About the Symposium

Bringing together clinical and administrative leaders across Illinois, the fall Medicaid symposium will address some of the challenges that both providers and patients face when navigating the Medicaid landscape. The symposium will feature local and national speakers who will share lessons learned and best practices for improving care delivery and reducing costs for Medicaid patients.

Through presentations, case studies, and panel discussions, attendees will learn more about managing ER utilization, care coordination, care management, and patient engagement and outreach efforts. We hope you can join and share some of your own lessons learned and best practices as we come together as a community to provide the best patient care to our Medicaid patients.
