Dear Friends,

I invite you to the Center’s upcoming special event next week. We would be honored if you would join us to help kick off the Center’s anniversary celebrations at our 8th Annual National Voices of Medicare Summit & Sen. Jay Rockefeller Lecture on April 1, 2021 — 35 years to the day since the Center was founded.

This year’s Summit will be a virtual program with content presented by leaders in advocacy, policy-making, medicine, and academia convening to discuss the best practices, solutions, and opportunities to advance access to comprehensive Medicare, health equity, and quality health care. The Summit, like all our work, is inspired by, and interspersed with, the real experiences and stories of beneficiaries and caretakers.

We are thrilled that Dr. Donald Berwick will present the 2021 Sen. Jay Rockefeller Lecture. Dr. Berwick is a leading advocate and thought leader for high-quality, equitable health care. He has previously served as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

In order to make this Summit more widely available, we are continuing to offer a reduced registration fee. Please visit our 2021 Summit webpage to learn more and register. Sincerely,
