Affinity GroupsNAACOS has created a new educational opportunity called Affinity Groups that will focus on peer-to-peer exchange of current ACO and population health issues. In addition to the in-person affinity group sessions to be held at our Fall and Spring Conferences, NAACOS will offer virtual sessions every few months throughout the year to provide a way for our members to have more peer-to-peer connection time. There are currently six groups categorized by ACO role. You may join one or more than one depending on your current roles and responsibilities. You will need to sign up individually for each group that you would like to participate in – once you have signed up, you will receive the Zoom log-in information for the virtual meetings. Additional information about the Fall Conference in-person meetings is forthcoming. Operations Affinity Group Quality Affinity Group Meets: February 13, July 9 and November 12, 2024, from 3–4 pm ET.
