While many challenges lie ahead of us, as a nation there is hope that with the release of effective vaccines, we are turning the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic.

During this pivotal time, the Medicaid program will continue to be called upon as an integral part of the American health care system鈥檚 pandemic response.
