Community Health Institute (CHI) & Expo Conference

The NACHC Com­mu­nity Health Insti­tute (CHI) and EXPO is the largest annual gath­er­ing of health cen­ter clin­i­cians, exec­u­tives, con­sumer board mem­bers, along with State/Regional Pri­mary Care Asso­ci­a­tions and Health Cen­ter Con­trolled Net­works. The con­fer­ence (August 24-26) takes place in Atlanta, GA, at a time when health cen­ters are charting a new course in a rapidly changing health environment and being called upon to assume a larger role in the nation’s health care system.

Health centers now confront a time 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 determinants of health and address the emerging public health issues and challenges of our day.

At CHI, attendees have multiple opportunities to:

• hear from thought and industry leaders about cutting edge ideas and partnerships to improve financial sustainability and improve care
• net­work with peers from across the country and U.S. territories
• share ideas and best prac­tices to stay vibrant and viable in the health ­care mar­ket­place
