Members of Millennium’s Community Based Organization Task Force attended “VBP 101”, the first in a series of educational opportunities to be offered by Millennium as the organization and CBO Partners move rapidly forward into the new era of Value-Based Payment vs. Fee-For-Service compensation.
Held Oct. 19, 2017, the seminar was hosted by Renaissance Addiction Services, 920 Harlem Rd., West Seneca, NY.

Al Hammonds, Millennium Executive Director; Kimberly Backey, Manager of Cultural Competency & Diversity Initiatives; and Courtney McDermott, Communications Intern were also in attendance.
