*NEW LOCATION* Please see the side panel for updated location details.

Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Health Funders Affinity Group is pleased to host Maryland Department of Health’s Deputy Secretary Ryan Moran, Healthcare Financing and Medicaid Director, for a conversation about the strategic priorities and vision of Maryland's Medicaid program. Specifically, Dr. Moran will review Medicaid's focus to promote innovation, access to care, health equity, and behavioral health.

In this role, Dr. Moran serves as a key member of the Maryland Department of Health's leadership team and oversees the state's commitment to its Medicaid program, serving more than 1.7 million Marylanders receiving critical acute, outpatient, and behavioral health services. Dr. Moran will take a deeper dive into Maryland’s Medicaid landscape, building on Secretary Herrera Scott’s presentation to members in September.

Deputy Secretary Moran brings a wealth of experience in affordable healthcare access for everyone having served as Chief Executive Officer, Whitman-Walker Health System, a community-centered enterprise committed to advancing social justice and equality through health. Ryan’s leadership was integral in positioning Whitman-Walker as the nation’s leader in LGBTQ+ inclusive care, advocacy, research, policy, and education. He has also served as Assistant Vice President, Care Transformation for MedStar Health's four hospitals in the Baltimore region.

This meeting is for Maryland Philanthropy Network members and invited guests only. In person attendance is encouraged and refreshments will be served.
