National Nursing Centers Consortium, a PHMC affiliate, will host its national conference, Nurse Managed Health Centers: Turning the Affordable Care Act into Action, in Alexandria, VA on June 9.

The Affordable Care Act has been a historic moment in the history of healthcare in the United States and it also ushers in opportunities for the expansion of nurse-managed care and increased access to health services. Demand for quality care is driving the need for skilled nursing services and the coordination of care across providers. NNCC’s conference is immediately followed by a separate, three-day technical assistance symposium, Engaging Residents of Underserved Communities: From Outreach to Quality Care. Co-hosted by NNCC’s signature technical assistance program, Community Health Partners for Sustainability and National Center for Health in Public Housing, this event provides attendees valuable learning and networking opportunities. The event is particularly relevant for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or those seeking FQHC status as HRSA representatives will be in attendance along with grantees from across the country.
