Federal Public Health Emergency Unwinding Toolkit
The purpose of this toolkit is to provide our community partners, stakeholders, and advocates with messaging and resources to support local and state agencies as Virginia prepares to return to normal Medicaid enrollment processes, also known as unwinding. The Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) will update this resource and add materials as new federal guidance and additional insights are available. Download the toolkit HERE.
The chapter offers a number of ways to stay current on what is happening across the state. With over 1300 members, we communicate through member alerts, newsletters, legislative updates, and active Facebook and Twitter accounts. For those wanting to connect with other pediatricians in their communities, we also provide membership to regional email groups enabling members to share their collective experiences and knowledge. There is no more important time than NOW to be a part of the Virginia Chapter as so much is on the line for children and pediatricians.
