WEBINAR: How State Policies Can Promote a Lifetime of Health and Well-Being for California’s Children
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST
Tune in on June 2 for a webinar focused on the strengths and limitations of California’s current health care system for children and families. Experts will discuss a recent report from the California Budget & Policy Center and review the report’s recommendations for how public policy can bolster support for healthy kids.
Child poverty, health care coverage, adequate investment in public health services, and quality care for children with special health care needs are among the issues California must address to create a comprehensive and well-coordinated health care system for children and families, according to the study.
The report, funded by the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, also includes an accompanying piece that provides a breakdown of major policy decisions over the last several years that have shaped today’s health system for children in California.
Expert speakers include:
- Edward L. Schor, MD, Senior Vice President, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health
- Timothy T. Brown, Associate Adjunct Professor of Health Economics, University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health
- Kristin Schumacher, Policy Analyst, California Budget & Policy Center
- Scott Graves, Director of Research, California Budget & Policy Center
