Multicultural Coalition on Aging: 2012 Professional Conference

Event Type: Open to public | Location: Ryan Lounge, 3rd Floor, McCormack Hall
The Gerontology Institute at UMass Boston will be cosponsoring the Multicultural Coalition on Aging 2012 Professional Conference.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has many health care institutions putting care transition teams in place and working with community providers. But not all community agencies understand the overall picture and how ACA may affect them, particularly how community agencies can and should be part of the planning and delivery.
The goal of this conference is to educate service providers serving diverse elders on the Affordable Care Act and its potential impact on service delivery.
