Webinar Series
The Geiger Gibson program live webinar series focuses on key policy issues and research relevant to community health centers and those they serve. The series features faculty experts and prominent guest speakers and addresses pressing policy matters as well as research and reports from the Geiger Gibson/ RCHN Community Health Foundation Research Collaborative and our ongoing work on community health centers, Medicaid and other areas.
As part of our ongoing health policy webinar program, the Geiger Gibson Program is pleased to offer a new webinar series beginning in May 2025 for community health centers, health center networks, and state and regional primary care associations.
The sessions will focus on some of today’s most pressing health policy issues including Medicaid and the reconciliation process.
Webinars will be hosted by faculty of the Geiger Gibson Program, and will feature presentations and robust discussion with health policy experts from within the Geiger Gibson program and the Milken Institute SPH as well as health center movement leadership.
Geiger Gibson 2025 Webinars
Community health centers provide essential primary and preventive care services in under-resourced, low-income communities and today serve 1 in 6 people covered by Medicaid nationally.
Medicaid cuts being considered in Congress, approaching $900 billion over a decade, will affect a broad range of communities, populations and services including community health centers and their patients. To illuminate the impact of federal Medicaid cuts at the state level and on medically underserved communities, the Geiger Gibson Program in Community Health announces a new webinar series for community health centers, health center networks, and state and regional primary care associations.
