The session begins with a federal legislative update discussion specific to the current status of various priority health center issues. It will then transition to a discussion about the need for a more coordinated national strategy on various state-based issues - using 340B discriminatory contracting as a case study. Third, NACHC staff will introduce several timely and emerging policy issues and solicit feedback on the relative importance and direction that should be pursued. Policy issues include: maternal health, behavioral health, and non-clinical workforce development. Lastly, the session will close with a focus on advocacy. Attendees will be asked to provide feedback on advocacy tools and strategies that they are incorporating to achieve results.
