Newletter Issue 1

In this issue, we introduce you to one of our new leaders, highlight a success story, share with you our plans to address the Medicaid backlog and SNAP timeliness issues, amongst other updates. I hope you find this helpful and informative.

We know that these past few years have not been easy on the system. There are many challenges we face, but we are prepared to fix them. A large Medicaid backlog and SNAP application timeliness issues stand out as major issues. We began addressing these issues immediately and plan to communicate our plans and progress with you frequently.
