The PA Department of Human Services will join select fellow Medicaid agencies from across the country seeking to address member health-related social needs in a new initiative. The Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) announced selection of nine states to join the Medicaid Health-Related Social Needs Implementation Learning Series. This peer learning series will assist the selected states — California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin — in developing, implementing, or refining health-related social need (HRSN) initiatives for Medicaid populations. The focus of the 12-month learning series will be on practical, on-the-ground implementation efforts that promote health equity and are informed by community member perspectives. Lessons learned will be shared broadly with stakeholders across the country.
