    CHICAGO, IL — NextLevel Health Partners, Inc., a Medicaid managed care company, Morehouse School of Medicine and the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation announced the Advancing Men’s Health Through Primary Care Conference, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Ian Smith, the best-selling author, television personality and physician. 

    Being held March 1st at Kennedy King College in Chicago, the conference will examine men’s healthcare after Medicaid expansion and provide a platform to discuss how critical improvements to men’s health outcomes can be made. The conference will connect health professionals from across the country and will culminate in creating a plan of action for addressing the determinants that affect men’s primary health.

    “We are very excited to partner with the Morehouse School of Medicine, The Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation and Dr. Ian Smith to bring light to the importance of preventive and primary healthcare for men, especially those in underserved communities,” says Dr. Cheryl Whitaker, CEO of NextLevel Health. “The Advancing Men’s Health Through Primary Care Conference presents an unprecedented opportunity for healthcare professionals from across the country to collaborate and create sustainable models for primary care for men covered under Medicaid.”

    “We are thrilled to be the lead academic partner for such an important conference highlighting the obstacles many men face in receiving quality preventative and primary care,” says Dr. Dominic Mack at Morehouse School of Medicine. “We are eager to collaborate with NextLevel Health to support a critical national dialogue around how we can create systems that improve the quality and accessibility of men’s primary care.”  

    “Examining the economic, social, physical and mental health of African American men is critical to understanding how to rebuild our communities,” says Paul Williams, Chairman of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation. “We are ready for the discussion and follow-up action.”
