Mark your calendar to attend the 2010 National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) National Farmworker Health Conference on “The Future of the Health Care Home!”
This year’s conference will focus on the future of the health care home and the medical home initiatives. President Obama has directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement a 3 year “medical home” initiative in 500 community health centers to evaluate the impact on access, quality, and cost of care provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will develop the demonstration, which would include a solicitation of applications from Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) grantees.
