This dynamic gathering draws thousands of Community Health Center professionals and leaders from around the country to focus on critical health care issues and hear from thought leaders and top health care officials in Washington. Health center advocates will also descend on the halls of Congress to fight for long-term and stable funding in the new decade. They bring with them a long history of bipartisan support based on significant achievement as the largest primary health care network in the U.S., now serving 30 million people nationwide.

Due to a change in guidelines for accreditation with the National Association of Social Workers, NACHC is unable to provide CE credits for social workers at the 2023 Policy & Issues Forum. We encourage the use of our CEU certificate for health professionals to track additional credits.
