Grateful for deepening relationships this past couple of weeks in Atlanta for National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)'s Community Health Institute (CHI) & Expo, which included an impactful week of committee/board/partner meetings, Innovation Ex, and amazing plenary and breakout partner sessions. Serving as our nation's largest primary care system with a primary care workforce of over 310K people and nearly 1500 Community Health Centers (CHCs) providing care to over 32.5 million people or 1 in 10 at over 16K sites in rural, frontier, urban, suburban, tribal, and island communities, NACHC is committed to being a "Partner of Choice" with the public, nonprofit, and private sectors to advance "Primary Care and Health Equity for ALL." We were grateful to have partner speakers, including our own NACHC Board chair and URBAN HEALTH PLAN, INC.'s CEO Paloma Hernandez, The Commonwealth Fund's CEO Joseph Betancourt, Centene Corporation's CEO Sarah M. London, American Heart Association's Chief Health Equity and Diversity Officer Gerald E. Johnson II, The Kennedy Forum's Founder and the Honorable Former US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Director Mandy Cohen, and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. We were grateful to have partner panels on "Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSAgov), HHS Bureau Chiefs", "Beyond the Exam Room", and "Population Health and Place-Based". For the "HRSA Bureau Chiefs" panel, we had Chantelle (Chan) Britton, Candice Chen, and Tonya Bowers. For the "Beyond the Exam Room" panel, we had HLTH Inc.'s Amy Eckenroth on industry partnerships, AltaMed Health Services's Lizette Escobedo on Civic Health, Instacart's Sarah Mastrorocco on Food as Medicine, and Direct Relief's Byron Scott, MD, MBA on emergency preparedness and response. For the "Population Health and Place-Based" panel, we had School-Based Health Alliance's CEO Robert Boyd, National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH)'s CEO Alicia Gonzales, American Academy of Family Physicians's CEO Shawn Martin, and National Health Care for the Homeless Council's CEO Bobby Watts. We had our members-only Innovation Ex with great partner speakers, including Health Tech 4 Medicaid's CEO Adimika Arthur, HLTH Foundation's Executive Director Janna Guinen, and Digital Health for Equitable Health Alliance's President Tanisha D. Hill, PhD, MPH. We had our inaugural "TechQuity Tank" with Azara Healthcare, CareMessage, eMed, and Syntax Health and an interactive workshop on the 5 Xs of CHC innovation (aka, eXplore, eXperiment, eXcel, eXpand, eXchange). NACHC believes that CHCs and our partners are the best, most innovative, most resilient, and most diverse part of our health system.
