Workgroups (19)
Open to CHC staff with relevant role and responsibilities
ICHCA hosts a variety of workgroups designed to connect health center staff across the state. Whether focused on sharing best practices, tackling specific quality improvement initiatives, or working through programs and tools within the centers, these groups provide ongoing opportunities for collaboration, learning, and connection. Participants can share feedback that informs ICHCA activities and learning programs. On an annual basis funding, quality, and resource commitment will be evaluated, although the intent is that these are long term groups.
To join a Workgroup, please email the ICHCA staff contact to be added to the calendar invitation and member email list.
