Webinar TOMORROW 4/16: New Opportunities for Community-Based Organizations

Register for the webinar on Thursday, April 16 at 1:00 pm ET

Join the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) for a webinar held in partnership with ACL on guidance recently issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services—and how community-based organizations may benefit.

In response to the nationwide impact of COVID-19, CMS has issued new rules and waivers of federal requirements to ensure that local hospitals and health systems have the capacity to absorb and effectively manage potential surges of COVID-19 patients. These newly introduced flexibilities permit hospitals and health care systems to act as local coordinators of health care delivery.

One flexibility relevant to area agencies on aging (AAAs) partnering with health care organizations is the CMS Hospital Without Walls program, which allows health care systems and hospitals to provide services in locations beyond their existing walls to help address the urgent need to expand care capacity and to develop sites dedicated to COVID-19 treatment, including offering outpatient care at home.

Join the Administration for Community Living, n4a’s Aging and Disability Business Institute, consultant Tim McNeill and the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio on Thursday, April 16 from 1:00-2:30 PM ET for a webinar discussion about approaches that Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent Living, and other community-based aging and disability organizations can use to take advantage of this new initiative—and how they can best prepare and respond to these opportunities.

Register for the webinar.
