Maryland Philanthropy Network's Education Funders Affinity Group invites you to hear from Dr. Khalilah Harris, Managing Director of K-12 Education Policy for the Center for American Progress, and Joseph Kane, Chair of the Parent and Community Advisory Board (PCAB) of Baltimore City. Dr. Harris will begin with a primer on the gaps in federal funding and the impact on Maryland’s public schools. Dr. Harris and Mr. Kane will then engage in a conversation discussing a vision for redesigning schools that moves beyond safety precautions to a system of education that makes it possible for all children to thrive.

Please join the Health Funders Affinity Group to learn about the Fundamentals of the Maryland Total Cost of Care Model and Current Priorities. Experts will provide an overview of the Maryland Total Cost of Care Health Model and the efforts and challenges of hospital and non-hospital systems to transition from the hospital-based All-Payer Model to Maryland’s unique model for health care financing and health delivery system reform. This Model supports public and private sector investment in community health, behavioral health, and initiatives that address disparities.  The presenters will also discuss ways that philanthropic organizations can contribute to create a healthier population in Maryland.
