Thanks again to all those who attended the National Stakeholder Call with the CMS Administrator on July 19. In case you missed it, here’s the link to the call recording and transcript: CMS National Stakeholder Calls. The call featured CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure and her leadership team, who provided updates on CMS’ recent actions and how CMS cross-cutting initiatives (CMS Strategic Plan) are improving quality of care and expanding access to health coverage. Guest speaker Tom Coderre, Deputy Assistant Secretary from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), reviewed SAMHSA’s Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the new 988 dialing code. CMS serves the public as a trusted partner and steward dedicated to advancing health equity, expanding coverage, and improving health outcomes as we engage the communities we serve throughout the policymaking and implementation process. We hope you can join us for the next National Stakeholder Call in the Fall.
