We are currently planning to hold the 2021 NWRPCA/CHAMPS Fall Primary Care Conference in-person and are looking forward to seeing you in Seattle, WA this autumn! This will be a traditional – slightly scaled-back – in-person event, with plenty of opportunities to reconnect with peers and colleagues. We’re optimistic about the upcoming year; however, we are prepared should we need to transition to a virtual event.
This conference will provide the education and training, information and resource sharing, coalition building, and program and policy development it’s known for, and we are excited to connect in person once again. Sessions designed for community health professionals will be broken into these seven tracks:
Clinical & Care Innovations
Fiscal Optimization
Fundamentals of Board Governance/Leadership
Healthy Communities
Operational Excellence
Workforce & HR Optimization
Hot Topics
So mark your calendars for
Sunday, October 24 – Tuesday, October 26, 2021!
