For the next few episodes, we’ll be bringing you conversations from the Mackinac Policy Conference. This year, the conference is focusing on “Bridging the Future Together”, which will invite dialogue among speakers and attendees on ways leaders will inspire radical collaboration across divides. With focus on the greatest issues and opportunities in Michigan, the concept of “Bridging the Future Together” will cover key themes critical to Michigan’s future including attracting businesses and jobs, improving education outcomes to ensure workforce readiness, strengthening infrastructure, and leading with innovation and equity. We thought it’d be a great opportunity to talk to attendees about how “Bridging the Future Together” will benefit the state of Michigan within their sectors. We hope you enjoy these bonus episodes.

On part 1 of this series, we’ll be focusing on value partnerships between BCBSM and provider partners.
