This Week in CHCACTivities
Need a template for creating a recruitment & retention plan? An implementation guide for starting a childhood obesity prevention program? Best practices in capital planning and financing? Before, you would have had to resort to a broad Google search to find these materials. Now, you can head right to the Health Center Resource Clearinghouse.
The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) launched the Clearinghouse this summer as a one-stop-shop for health centers to access 500+ resources. The Clearinghouse will make it easier for health centers to find high-quality and up-to-date information.
Katie Henley, Senior Program Manager of Workforce Development
The Clearinghouse is a shared project of the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA)’s 20 National Cooperative Agreement (NCA) organizations. The NCAs are funded to provide training and technical assistance services (T/TA) to the 1,400 community health centers that serve 27 million patients nationwide. For more information on the 20 different NCAs, check out the Our Partners page.
To ask a question, submit a TA request, or let NACHC know what you think about the website, go to the Connect With Us page.
Please share this great resource with your networks!
Have a great week.
