Ohio Planning for National Health Center Week Webinar
National Health Center Week will be here before you know it and it is never too early to plan. To help you plan and provide the most up-to-date information, OACHC hosted a webinar this week. In addition to having Elizabeth Kwasnik from National Association of Community Health Centers present the national overview, OACHC gave an Ohio perspective to help you organize your outreach plans, engage your community, create awareness, and celebrate the impact Health Centers have in Ohio. The Ohio speakers included OACHC's Teresa Rios-Bishop, Lisa Porter of CAA of Columbiana County and Rebecca Shaw of Lorain County Health & Dentistry.To view the recording of this webinar click here.
