SUMMARY:International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
DESCRIPTION:Building a sustainable future: Coming together to end poverty and discrimination\nThe International Day for the Eradication of Poverty has been observed every year since 1993\, when the United Nations General Assembly\, by resolution 47/196\, designated this day to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution in all countries. Fighting poverty remains at the core of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the development of the post-2015 development agenda. \nThis year\, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty holds particular significance because it will be the first observance following the formal adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Within this new development framework\, designed to replace and carry forward the aims of the Millennium Development Goals\, all countries committed to “ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions.” \n

SUMMARY:Reaching Minorities: Health Care Enrollment and Engagement

And although coverage rates among African Americans have surged nationally\, success has varied from state to state based on Medicaid expansion decisions and other factors. This webinar will explore ways to increase coverage among minority populations and to improve understanding of how to use health insurance to access care. \nDate & Time: Oct. 20; 3-4:30 p.m. EDT \nSpeakers: \n\n\nCara James\, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services \n\n\nJose Plaza\, Enroll America \n\n\nDerek Robinson\, Health Care Service Corporation \n\n\n  \nPresentations will include the following: \n\nlessons learned by Enroll America in the first two years of enrollment outreach  \nthe federal government’s targeted efforts\, including culturally competent resources to help consumers select and retain coverage  \na private-sector push to clarify coverage options under the ACA\, increase overall enrollment and improve health literacy\n\nRegister now for this free webinar\, or check out the draft agenda.
