About the Program
CCALAC is currently accepting applications for host sites for the 2026–2027 Community Health Fellows Program. This nine-month, full-time fellowship runs from September 2026 through June 30, 2027 and places passionate individuals at CCALAC member health centers to support projects that increase access to care and improve community health outcomes. Fellows complete 1,450 hours of service and receive ongoing support, training, and professional development throughout the program.
Why Host a Fellow?
- Boost clinic capacity in key areas such as outreach, health education, case management, emergency preparedness, and quality improvement.
- Gain a trained, mission-driven Fellow who is committed to supporting your health center’s goals.
- Receive ongoing program support, including bi-weekly Fellow stipends, health coverage, and professional development administered by CCALAC.
- Strengthen your workforce pipeline—many past Fellows have gone on to work for their host health centers or pursue advanced careers in health care.
- Support emergency preparedness efforts. Emergency management and preparedness is a core component of the program. Fellows participate in the EM workgroup and gain hands-on experience while supporting their host site’s emergency preparedness and readiness efforts.
