Commemorating 50 Years of Medicaid: June 20th-June 27th

The Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) is continuing to recognize Medicaid’s contribution to the health and security of the most vulnerable Americans.  In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Medicaid, we are posting highlights of the people, places, and progress that represent the Medicaid program we know today.

We’ll be posting daily between June 10th and July 30th – every day for 50 days – and we hope you’ll view and share them.  If you missed this week’s post, you can still find them onMedicaid.gov.
