🏡 AHCCCS was proud to participate in the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) Annual Conference, where leaders from across the country discussed the future of home and community-based services (HCBS).

Representing Arizona and AHCCCS, Jakenna Lebsock, Deputy Assistant Director of ALTCS, joined state and national leaders to discuss strategies that support sustainable, high-quality HCBS programs, including outcomes, oversight, and access to care.

As demand for these services continues to grow, conversations like these help inform the future of community-based care.
