Media Advisory – Families USA’s Frederick Isasi to Speak at June 29 Health Equity Event on Alternative Payment Models
Frederick Isasi, Executive Director of Families USA, will be speaking at a briefing on June 29 (12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. ET), Alternative Payment Models: A Springboard for Achieving an Equitable Healthcare System.
Isasi will discuss how payment and delivery reforms can be powerful tools to address the underlying root causes of health disparities when done correctly. He will underscore that without a laser focus on health disparities, new payment and delivery models could worsen the gap in outcomes for people of color, rural communities, and others. And he will drive home how critical it is that reform efforts bring health equity right into the center of re-design and then measure and monitor impact of these reform efforts on vulnerable communities and populations.
To speak with Isasi about his remarks for the briefing or Families USA’s health equity priorities, please contact Lisa Holland, lholland@familiesusa.org.
