Lord professor of medicine and director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology at Johns Hopkins Medicine. His clinical concentration is on caring for older adults with complex health needs in the office and hospital settings. He has done considerable research in the field of geriatrics.  \nLiz Seegert \nSamuel Durso URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/webcast-frailty-and-its-impact-on-health/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20140923T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20140923T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155947Z CREATED:20231103T155209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155947Z UID:25986-1411434000-1411434000@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Webcast: Covering how states will prepare for second ACA enrollment season DESCRIPTION:Watch a recording of this webcast.\nSpeaker’s presentation\n\n\nHeather Howard \n\n\nResources\n\n\nAHCJ Core Topic: Health Reform \n\n\nState Health Reform Assistance Network \n\n\nHealth insurance issuer participation and new entrants in the health insurance marketplace in 2015 \n\n\n \n\n \n2 p.m. ET\, Sept. 23\n \nThe second enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act begins in November – just after the elections.
