The CHI will address the major challenges facing health centers as the demand for affordable primary care soars. Against a backdrop of Medicaid redeterminations and growing competition for primary care providers and medical staff, the CHI offers a space for health centers to share best practices and solutions. The CHI will also showcase how health centers are meeting challenges with innovative programs, grounded in their commitment to advance health equity for all.
Health centers are in an era when change must be viewed within the context of opportunity. They must find new ways to deliver care more effectively and efficiently. The pathway to sustainability and competition calls for training in new disciplines, collaboration, workforce development, technology, and pursuing innovative models of care that target both the social drivers of health and address the emerging public health issues and challenges of our day.
