MHA CEO Brian Peters joined The Common Bridge podcast for an episode published Aug. 18 to discuss various healthcare policy topics, particularly those impacting rural Michigan. Areas of focus include the Affordable Care Act, the impact of Medicaid provider taxes, clinical scope of practice, telemedicine, hospital-at-home programs, Medicare Advantage and the 340B drug pricing program.
The episode is hosted by Richard Helppie, founder of The Common Bridge. Episodes from the show focus on non-partisan policy discussions. The episode is available through Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
Peters is also quoted in a press release published Aug. 22 by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services on the record number of Michigan hospitals who applied for the Maternal Levels of Care verification through The Joint Commission.
“We applaud each of the hospitals and their birthing teams for the time and effort they spent over recent weeks to complete the application process,” Peters. “This work signifies the dedication Michigan birthing hospitals have toward providing high quality and safe care to Michigan mothers and babies.”
