Insights into 1115 Waiver Updates, Community Hub Models, & WA Healthcare’s role towards better care

On Tuesday, August 13th 12-1:15 PM we hosted a webinar to provide an introduction to the latest updates to the 1115 Waiver, effective July 2024. Our speakers gave an overview to the key changes and the priority areas under this waiver, and gain a deeper understanding of its implications for our healthcare ecosystem and communities. The webinar highlighted innovative Community Hub models through presentations from two distinct Accountable Communities of Health (ACH), where we learned about the role of their community hub models, their unique designs, and how the healthcare system can effectively engage with them to support our patients and clients. We discussed how these models can enhance patient care and engagement within our healthcare system.

Speakers:
Sagung Colina, Senior Health Policy Analyst, HCA
​Matt Christie, Foundational Community Supports Supervisor, HCA
Michelle Ahmed, Director of Health Connect Hub at SWACH
