Emergency Preparedness and Resilience: A Health Center Perspective | Webinar

September is National Preparedness Month—a reminder of the critical importance of planning for emergencies. Community health centers stand on the frontlines when disasters strike, whether natural, environmental, or public health-related. With evolving federal priorities, regulatory expectations, and new challenges on the horizon, health centers must be ready to adapt their preparedness strategies to protect both patients and staff.

We will also highlight workforce readiness, community collaborations, and practical steps that can help strengthen resilience in the face of uncertainty.

Designed for health center leaders, compliance officers, operations teams, and emergency management leads, this session will provide timely insights and actionable strategies to ensure FQHCs remain prepared for the future.
