The town hall, “Integrating the Diaspora to Advance Community Health and Malaria Elimination Initiatives in Haiti,” will feature a conversation among public and private sector leaders exploring new thinking in malaria elimination. The Haitian diaspora is critical to advocate for stronger healthcare policy and investment across Haiti.

This investment from Fifth Third will allow us to continue to push back against the revenue cycle management status quo and drive industry-wide innovation.”

About Health iPASS: Health iPASS gets your practice paid.
