We Need Your Support to Continue Our Advocacy & Operations....
The NYS Care Management Coalition is funded through its conference fees; we have never charged a membership fee which has allowed anyone interested in the behavioral health care management community to receive our services.
​
Although our registration for our annual conference is significant, it will not be at the level needed to support our operations. Over the past few years, conference and operational expenses have increased. To remain viable and sustainable, the Coalition needs sponsorships to help support its mission, advocacy activities and training.
​
Therefore, we are seeking your help. Please consider a sponsorship to help us continue our quality services and efforts. Click the button below to learn more!
