The four presentations are: 1) a Mathematica Policy Research safety net provider study, 2) findings from the HRSA Community Access Program, 3) lessons learned from States Planning Grants for Universal Health Insurance Coverage, and 4) a study by the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health on the role of health departments in direct service delivery for low-income populations. | ||||
