Source: NASUAD: National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities

As a Community Based Organization (CBO)*, your mission is rooted in supporting people with disabilities and/or older adults to have vibrant and meaningful lives in their community. Part of fulfilling that mission is staying up to date on efforts to move toward greater integrated health care, primarily through Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). Join NASUAD to learn more about the basics of what a MLTSS program is and how community based organizations, states, and the health plans responsible for the management of the long-term services and supports can work together.

Please join on May 24, 2017 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern for the one hour webinar: “What CBOs Need to Know: Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS)”.
