HEALTHCARE REFORM UPDATE
Presenters
Chuck Ingoglia, Vice President, Public Policy, National Council
Alexa Eggleston, Director of Public Policy, National Council
Stay up to date on healthcare reform with the next in our biweekly webinar series. President Obama and leaders in Congress have committed themselves to overhauling healthcare this year and reform is picking up speed. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee released their Affordable Health Choices Act on June 9 and the three House Committees with jurisdiction over healthcare reform released the first part of their reform bill on June 19. With reform moving so quickly, the National Council is offering this webinar series to ensure you are updated on the latest congressional and administration actions related to healthcare reform and understand the potential impact of proposals on mental health and addiction services. Each webinar will include a Q&A session.

NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP: COMING TO YOUR COMMUNITY
Presenter
Peggy Hill, Director of Program Development, Nurse-Family Partnership National Service Office
What responsibilities — and business opportunities — do community mental health-addiction service providers have when it comes to prevention and early intervention? The Nurse-Family Partnership provides insights and new directions.
The Nurse-Family Partnership puts young families on a physically, socially, psychologically and economically healthy trajectory from the very beginning of their lives as a family. The program engages first-time parents living in poverty in home visits by nurses beginning early in the mother’s pregnancy through their child’s second birthday to promote family mental and physical health and economic self-sufficiency. Local mental health and substance abuse providers play a key role in the program’s success, as they support the nursing teams.
A newly-proposed federal initiative could make $8.6 billion available over the next 10 years to many entities, including health-focused community-based organizations, to implement programs like the Nurse-Family Partnership, endorsed as a “program that works” by President Obama. Current Nurse-Family programs, which help 18,000 families in 28 states, are supported by a range of public and private funding sources, including Medicaid and mental health services and prevention funds.
Join our webinar to learn how YOU can bring the Nurse-Family Partnership to your community with support and resources from the Nurse-Family Partnership National Office.
