The Center for Medicare Advocacy is grateful to all the participants, presenters and sponsors who helped make this year’s program a reality, if not exactly the reality that was originally planned.
We are humbled and honored by all the speakers who so generously gave their time: 2020 Sen. Jay Rockefeller Lecturer Wendell Potter; Tricia Neuman, Cathy Hurwit, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Judy Feder, Trudy Lieberman, Mark Miller, Susan Jaffe, and all the Center for Medicare Advocacy staff who helped make this happen.
Congratulations to 2020 Alfred J. Chiplin, Jr. Social Justice and Advocacy Award honoree Ashwani Jain of the National Kidney Foundation.
And finally, none of this could happen without the sponsors who made the Summit and Rockefeller Lecture possible: Lecture sponsor The John A. Hartford Foundation; and panel sponsors AARP; Alzheimer’s Association Alzheimer’s Impact Movement; Powers Pyle Sutter and Verville, PC; the Santa Fe Group; and SEIU.
