In this Medicaid Leadership Exchange podcast, Kate McEvoy, former Connecticut Medicaid director and CFO, Mike Gilbert discuss their experiences working with partners in the executive and legislative branches to build trust and a shared vision for sustaining critical programs. Hear how they decide what to prioritize when creating program sustainability strategies, and how to set targets for the financial forecasting process. The conversation is moderated by Mark Larson, senior vice president of leadership and capacity building at the Center for Health Care Strategies.
