The Primed Roundtable Series sought to foster candid and constructive conversations about the opportunities and challenges facing those implementing, funding, and scaling technology-enabled solutions in their states’ Medicaid delivery systems.

The four roundtables took place in fall 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee; Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; and Washington, DC. Each invite-only, half-day event convened an array of influential state Medicaid officials, plans, providers, funders, and entrepreneurs.

The series was cohosted by the California Health Care Foundation Innovation Fund and Village Capital, who partnered last year to lead the first ever ACAP Medicaid Innovation Challenge, as well as Speire Healthcare Strategies.

About the Cohosts

The California Health Care Foundation is dedicated to advancing meaningful, measurable improvements in the way the health care delivery system provides care to the people of California, particularly those with low incomes and those whose needs are not well served by the status quo. We work to ensure that people have access to the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford. The foundation’s Innovation Fund supports health care technology and service companies with the potential to significantly improve quality of care, lower the total cost of care, or improve access to care for Californians with low incomes.

Village Capital is reinventing the system to back the entrepreneurs of the future — a future where business creates equity and long-term prosperity.
