On this episode of Leading Community Colleges in California, host Larry Galizio welcomes Ryan Stewart, Ed. L.D., in an insightful conversation about opportunities to seek Medicaid funding to support student health services. Community colleges play a significant role in delivering health services, according to a recent report by Stewart and Sara Goldrick-Rab, Ph.D., Increasing Student Support and Success By Boosting Medicaid Engagement, However, while many California community colleges seek Medicaid reimbursement, only a fraction of community colleges nationwide bill for any of the eligible services they offer. Dr. Stewart explains how the report and accompanying dashboard can serve as a guide for community colleges to identify funds for student health services.
