The 2/9/23 agenda is below and agendas for the 3/9/23 and 4/6/23 meetings will be added later. You are also invited to forward this series to colleagues\, community health workers\, outreach workers\, and others in public health and healthcare who may find it valuable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2/9 Meeting – Situation Recap and becoming a Certified Application Counselor   \n\n\n\nIn the 2/9 session we will have a situation recap from the RI Executive Office of Health and Human Services followed by a presentation from RI Health Center Association on how agencies and individuals can become Certified Application Counselors (CACs). CACs are trained and accredited individuals that are authorized to help community members navigate HealthSourceRI and obtaining Medicaid in the State of Rhode Island. These CACs\, or Navigators\, will have a critical role in supporting those on Medicaid with the redetermination process. \n\n\n\n11:00am- Blaise Rein\, RIDOH\, welcome to group and cover agenda \n\n\n\n11:05am- 11:20am\, Kilah Walters-Clinton\, Director Race\, Equity\, and Community Engagement\, EOHHS\,    \n\n\n\n\nSituation update\n\n\n\nWhat is Medicaid redetermination?  \n\n\n\nWho is going to be impacted?
