    The NC Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Health & Human Services will be meeting at 8:30 AM instead of 9:30 AM on Tuesday, May 15th and will adjourn at 12:30 PM.

    As part of our push to slow down managed care implementation, we encourage all of our members and supporters to attend the meeting and make your voices heard on how the speed of managed care implementation has affected you personally.
