The NACHC Com­mu­nity Health Insti­tute (CHI) and EXPO is the largest annual gath­er­ing of health cen­ter clin­i­cians, exec­u­tives, con­sumer board mem­bers, along with State/Regional Pri­mary Care Asso­ci­a­tions and Health Cen­ter Con­trolled Net­works. The con­fer­ence (August 18-20, 2019) is sched­uled to kick off in Chicago, IL, at a time when health cen­ters are charting a new course in a rapidly changing health environment and being called upon to assume a larger role in the nation’s health care system.  Health centers now confront a time when change must be viewed within the context of opportunity.  They must find new ways to deliver care more effectively and efficiently.  The pathway to sustainability and competition calls for training in new disciplines, collaboration, workforce development, technology and pursuing innovative models of care that target both the social determinants of health and address the emerging public health issues and challenges of our day.

At the NACHC CHI health centers can take advantage of multiple opportunities to gain perspectives from thought and industry leaders, hear about cutting edge ideas and partnerships to improve financial sustainability, net­work, share ideas and best prac­tices to stay vibrant and viable in the health ­care mar­ket­place.

This two day face-to-face training at the start of the CEO Institute is designed for participants to form the learning community, be oriented to the ways the cohort will learn together, and build connections with peers. It is one of the required elements as highlighted in the program brochure.

The NACHC New CEO Leadership Institute (CEOI) is designed for new health center CEOs to ensure that you have the training, resources, and support you need to successfully lead your health center in today’s ever changing healthcare environment. This curriculum is designed with the “new” CEO in mind (6 months – 3 years or less experience), but may also serve as a good refresher for more experienced CEOs and is open for all to apply.

CEOI is an eight month program designed to provide interactive and action-oriented learning experiences through a community of practice that meet the training needs of new CEOs.
