April 24, 2023 – Health Care Management Conference

Health plan trustees and administrators are responsible for designing coverage that is cost-effective, attains the highest health outcomes, and is equitable for all, but it’s easy to fall off track. The Health Care Management Conference is designed to explore how to create a better plan for your entire fund through the whole-worker approach, focusing on how the health plan supports workers’ physical, mental, and professional well-being.
