Presented by: Dr. Dan Swayze, Vice President, Community Services, UPMC Health Plan & Director of Operations, UPMC Innovative Homecare Solutions

Offered in Partnership with: UPMC Health Plan, proud Premier Sponsor of the 2020 Collaborative Conference

The current stage of the COVID-19 pandemic has focused on the medical system response, but many leading indicators point towards an unprecedented surge in the demand for social services once the biological threat of the pandemic subsides. During this session Dr. Swayze will describe how the UPMC Health Plan is preparing for the aftermath of the pandemic and some of the novel community-based opportunities that will be required to help our most vulnerable communities.

This workshop is being offered free of charge by our friends at UPMC Health Plan, proud sponsors of the 2020 Collaborative Conference. You do not need to have attended the conference in order to participate in this workshop, but we invite you to learn more about the conference here.
