This advocacy-focused panel will explore recent and upcoming changes to Medicaid and their impact on patients, providers, and public health. Panelists will discuss how we can align around a unified message to effectively communicate the importance of Medicaid coverage and access. Participants will learn practical strategies to educate legislators, policymakers, and key stakeholders, as well as best practices for pediatricians and family medicine physicians to inform and empower patients and caregivers about these changes.

Designed for physicians, public health advocates, and community leaders, this session aims to strengthen coordinated advocacy efforts across disciplines. The training will be offered at no cost to participants.

of Pediatrics

Dedicated to the Health of All Children

Our mission is to support the optimal health of children by addressing the needs of children, their families, their communities, and their health care providers.

The Iowa Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (IA AAP) is comprised of nearly 400 pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, and other healthcare providers from across the state. While IA AAP supports the positions and policies of the National AAP organization, the Chapter also addresses the needs and interests of individual members, and the children and communities they serve.
