In Webinar 1 we heard what DSRIP leads need to hear from us to assure they are inclusive in their applications. In Webinar 2, we will hear some implementation lessons learned, some things that have worked and some problems to avoid. Stay tuned for several other strategies we are pursuing to advance recovery and member innovations.
