���������� Note: In 2 weeks,
���������� will have a state budget agreement that will help set the

course for how ��we will address and advance issues of critical

importance to our community in the coming year.

In

only 3 weeks after that, state and national officials and experts will

be joining behavioral health agency leaders and advocates in an up close

examination

of many of these issues at our ���������� Annual Executive Seminar, “Beyond Survival to Success” to be held April 21–22 at the Albany Hilton.

After

national experts Ron Manderscheid, Jeff Olivet and Dr. Ruth Shim

provide a national frame about how states are implementing integrated population health policies, DOH’s Greg Allen, OMH’s Bob Meyers and OASAS’ Pat Lincourt will break down the impact of the enacted budget and where we are in implementing Medicaid Redesign’s numerous, sweeping initiatives.

DOH’s DSRIP lead Peggy Chan will then take a close at how the DSRIP program is faring through the eyes of both an

upstate and downstate Performing Provider System while top FQHC, health

plan and hospital representatives look at the impact of new payment systems on our behavioral health community. ��

The program will begin on the following day with a keynote panel on the “Intersection and Integration of Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services” featuring

SAMHSA and National Council experts and close with a candid look at Agency and Workforce Sustainability led by the coalition leader who commissioned the “���������� Nonprofits in the Aftermath of FEGS: A Call to Action.”

Diversion and Re-entry, Technology, Peer Support, Addiction and Trauma

Recovery and Cultural Competence, presentations featuring prominent national experts who we’ll be highlighting throughout this week’s postings.
