Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County
Policy Café Sponsorship
The Policy Café breakfast series brings together clinics, policymakers, community leaders, researchers and other stakeholders for timely discussions on the issues impacting Los Angeles County’s health care landscape. From the state budget and Medi-Cal, to issues at the federal level, and discussions on specific issues impacting the health of our communities, the series drives dialogue on today’s hot topics. No podium. No PowerPoint. Just frank conversation.
Since 2020, Policy Cafe has been held virtually via Zoom enabling a broader audience and wider range of guests. Future plans involve staying virtual most of the time, while adding in some in-person events as the health/pandemic environment allows.
