Join us at 4:00 for a panel discussion on reimagining long term care,
featuring a diverse panel of experts from the disability community!

Governor Cuomo has brought in billionaires Bill Gates (formerly of
Microsoft) and Eric Schmidt (formerly of Google) to "reimagine" New York's
government, including large public programs such as our healthcare system.
Former MRT Co-Chair Michael Dowling, who last year made $10 million as head
of Northwell Health and was responsible for leading the effort to cut
Medicaid this year, will help these billionaires reimagine health in New
York.

As CDPA remains the only program to be developed by people with
disabilities, for people with disabilities, *we know that we, not
billionaires, are best at reimagining the way in which the services we rely
on are delivered!*

Join CDPAANYS Executive Director Bryan O'Malley as he moderates a panel
discussion focused on how we can reimagine our long term care system to
shift the focus to ensure it reflects what we need to live as free people
in the community - not on how to cut corners and maximize profits for
corporations and CEO salaries.

Panelists will include:

- Denise Figueroa - Executive Director, Independent Living Center of the
Hudson Valley
- Jose Hernandez - President, NYC Chapter, United Spinal Association
- Todd Vaarwerk - Chief Policy Officer, Western New York Independent Living
- Britney Wilson - Staff Attorney, National Council for Law and Economic
Justice
