(Recorded Webinar) Caring for Health Center Patients During the Incoming Trump Administration

Duration: 60 minutes
Recorded on: 12/12/2024

Join Feldesman attorneys Molly Evans, Dianne Pledgie and Rosie Dawn Griffin as they respond to key questions from health centers related to immigration, reproductive health care and gender-affirming care during the Trump administration. The presenters will review the current federal landscape and respond to questions such as:

  • Can health centers serve undocumented individuals?
  • Should health centers collect information related to an individual’s immigration status?
  • How should health centers document reproductive health services and gender-affirming care?
  • When must a health center provide patient records to law enforcement or a healthcare oversight agency?
  • Is gender-affirming care covered by the FTCA?

The presenters will also discuss potential changes under the Trump administration. As health center leadership, staff and patients prepare for the next four years, this webinar will provide attendees with information and resources on navigating the current legal and compliance requirements and understanding how potential changes may impact health centers.

To have the presenters consider your question, please submit your questions by December 5th by email to dpledgie@feldesman.com.
