Census Workgroup
If your clinic plans to engage in census activities and has not already identified a lead, please send your Census 2020 point person(s) contact information to Erika Rogers at erogers@ccalac.org to be included in census related correspondence. CCALAC members engaged in census activities, outreach, and education can participate in our monthly workgroup that provides a platform for members to hear census updates, share best practices, and have a forum to discuss what each clinic is doing in the census sphere.
