November's Equity Learning Collaborative focused on how a small county is streamlining costs, supporting local research, and creating funding innovations by leveraging existing County-Based Medi-Cal Administrative Activities funding with a recipe that is applicable to counties of any size. Calaveras County has participated in the CMAA program since 2003, but it wasn’t until 2025 that a formal system for allocating these crucial funds was developed. To align funding with local health priorities, the county created the CMAA Revenue and Request Policy, optimizing resources, fostering collaboration, and addressing key community needs. Attendees will learn about the practical tools and strategies needed to replicate or adapt the framework while strengthening health infrastructure in their communities.
