In this interactive workshop, you’ll get a primer on health care policy, including the terminology, interaction between federal, state and local levels, funding streams and Legislative efforts in the SDOH and health equity space.  Learn from experts, benchmark best practices with fellow attendees and get your most pressing questions answered. 

In this engaging workshop, insurers, healthcare professionals, and nonprofit leaders will learn essential skills for advocating for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) programs and securing stakeholder support. Walk away with practical tools and strategies to successfully pitch SDOH programs, emphasizing how to demonstrate return on investment (ROI), build trust with key stakeholders, and craft compelling stories that resonate across sectors.

This session aims to give voice to those whose lived experiences are often overlooked in policy and healthcare discussions, providing valuable feedback for healthcare providers, nonprofits, insurers, and policymakers seeking to improve the care and services available to vulnerable populations.
