CPCA On the Road

CPCA continued its focus on member outreach this last quarter with incredibly successful health center site tours throughout California during National Health Center Week (NHCW) and beyond. This quarter, CPCA staff visited 29 health centers, with 17 of those visits taking place between August 4-10 during NHCW.

Over 40 CPCA staff participated in the NHCW site tours, greeting old friends and making new ones. We witnessed new sites being unveiled, past and present health center leadership being honored, and communities being celebrated and served. These visits help to rejuvenate and recommit to the mission of our work: to support the more than 1,200 not-for-profit health centers who provide comprehensive, quality healthcare services for low-income, uninsured and underserved Californians who might not otherwise have access to health care.

NHCW site tours were prioritized in areas where CPCA staff had not recently visited or where CPCA could amplify visits where elected leadership were also expected to attend. The goal of these visits was to highlight the amazing work being done across the state. By connecting with health center leadership and frontline health care providers, these visits showcased the innovative work being done and deepened CPCA’s collaboration with community health centers across California. Specifically, CPCA used our expanded knowledge and connection to identify and share best practices across the state, to inform policy and program development efforts, and to identify ways to improve and increase member engagement. A big thank you to all the health centers that hosted our staff in celebration of National Health Center Week 2024!

CPCA looks forward to further expanding the program to more clinics throughout the year. If you have questions about the program or have an interest in hosting a visit with CPCA staff in the next year, please email info@cpca.org.
