Medicaid leaders will focus on shaping the next chapter in healthcare at the 2025 National Association of Medicaid Directors Fall Conference, taking place November 19–21. Discussions will explore new approaches to collaboration and innovation, with leadership guiding efforts to improve access, quality, and sustainability in Medicaid and CHIP programs. State and federal partners will share strategies to strengthen care for the 79 million Americans these programs serve. Public Knowledge® will join these conversations, helping translate ideas into action that benefit the communities these programs serve.
