Civitas Heard in the Halls: Michael Berger Spills the Tea on HIEs’ Next Chapter in Medicaid & Beyond

There’s a fresh outlook brewing live in the Civitas hallways!

On HITea With Grace, where we spill the tea on HIT, host Grace Vinton sits down with innovation leader Michael Berger to discuss how HIEs are shifting from uncertainty about their future to new opportunities in Medicaid, public health and social determinants of health and why patient identity underpins that work. Plus, Michael shares a lesson from the tennis court: if change feels comfortable, you might still be using your old swing.
