Community health centers stand at critical crossroads. Amid employee burnout and persistent health worker shortages, shifting federal priorities and state budget cuts threaten to exacerbate the health workforce crisis. Now, more than ever, health care needs innovative solutions to address this crisis, and community health centers are poised to lead the charge in building a workforce that is resilient, cared for, and equipped to serve their communities.

Join the Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, for our first-ever Workforce Summit to gain valuable insights, discover innovative strategies to recruit and retain staff, and connect with peers and partners driving workforce transformation across Los Angeles County. Together, we will envision a future that invests in the development and wellbeing of our community health workforce, ensuring patients continue to receive the care they need.

Thanks to our reception sponsor – IMA Los Angeles – we will offer 5.25 SHRM Credits for attending!
