ZoomEvent Details:
Webinar: From Healthcare to Policy—Exploring Medicaid and Medicare Access for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). Less than half of the 2.25 million adults in the US who live with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) were part of government programs that helped people receive assistance, such as Medicaid and Medicare. To ensure healthcare providers can connect people to much-needed services, join UT Health San Antonio’s webinar, “From Healthcare to Policy—Exploring Medicaid and Medicare Access for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD),” at 2 p.m. Central on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026. This webinar will be hosted by Dr. Amelie Ramirez, leader of Salud America! and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio, along with experts from the National Hispanic Health Foundation (NHHF) and Genentech. Together they will explore how to navigate the changing climate of government-assisted healthcare, build literacy and competency around Medicaid and Medicare for I/DD populations, and improve access to Medicaid and Medicare through policy and system changes. The webinar will also help kick-off Hispanic Heritage Month. Register: https://bit.ly/iddwebinar
