SUMMARY:Standards of Conduct and Conflict of Interest: Policies in Practice | Compliance Summer Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 1 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Standards of Conduct: From Grant Rules to Everyday Practice | Tuesday\, July 7 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nThis summer\, a stronger health center starts with the Standards of Conduct. Federal grant rules emphasize the need for clear written standards that detail expected behaviors\, promote ethical conduct\, and support compliance with applicable laws and program requirements. Federal guidance on effective compliance programs underscores the importance of written standards as a foundational element of organizational integrity and accountability. \nIn this webinar\, attendees will learn key components of effective Standards of Conduct\, including expectations related to compliance\, workplace behavior\, reporting concerns\, and accountability. The presenters will also discuss practical strategies for communicating standards across the organization\, conducting training\, and incorporating lessons learned from compliance incidents into ongoing program improvements. \nAttendees will receive access to our sample Standards of Conduct\, designed specifically for community health centers. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify the core elements of the Standards of Conduct for health centers\nDiscuss strategies for revising the Standards of Conduct in response to emerging risks and regulatory changes\nDevelop practical approaches for training staff and Board members on the Standards of Conduct\n\n\nSession 2: Conflict of Interest | Thursday\, July 9 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nIdentifying and managing conflicts of interest is critical to safeguarding federal grant funds\, maintaining public trust\, and supporting effective health center governance and compliance. This webinar will explore conflict of interest requirements applicable to health centers under federal grant rules\, including HRSA’s Conflict of Interest Policy and related requirements set forth in the Health Center Program Compliance Manual. The webinar will review how effective conflict of interest policies and processes support compliance and establish clear expectations for Board members\, employees\, and other individuals associated with the health center. \nParticipants will learn how to identify actual and potential conflicts of interest involving board members and staff\, with clear disclosure requirements and strong processes for managing conflicts. Real-world scenarios and practical examples will help attendees understand how conflicts can arise in day-to-day operations\, contracting\, procurement\, governance activities\, and other health center functions. \nAttendees will receive access to our sample Conflict of Interest Policy\, developed specifically for community health centers. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDefine actual and potential conflicts of interest\nUnderstand federal requirements related to conflicts of interest\nBuild a process whereby conflicts of interest are effectively disclosed and appropriately managed\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\nHIPAA Privacy Officers\nHIPAA Security Officers\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Safe to Care: Protecting Health Center Staff | Compliance Summer Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 2 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Name the Threat: Understanding Workplace Violence at Community Health Centers | Tuesday\, July 14 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nWorkplace violence is not just one thing. This session builds the foundational knowledge before any skills training can be effective. Participants will explore the types of workplace violence\, from verbal aggression and patient-generated threats to targeted personal relationship violence and active assailant events. Using OSHA’s four-type classification framework as a shared language\, the session examines the unique risk factors that make community health centers vulnerable. The session closes with a look at the regulatory landscape for FQHCs\, including what 42 CFR Part 491 actually requires\, where the compliance gaps are\, and why no existing framework currently mandates planning for the type of violence CHCs may face. Participants will leave with the conceptual foundation to get the most out of Session 2. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUse OSHA’s four-type framework to identify and classify workplace violence at your health center\nIdentify the risk factors that make community health centers uniquely vulnerable\nKnow what 42 CFR Part 491 actually requires and where your current policies may fall short\n\n\nSession 2: Three Threats\, Three Responses | Thursday\, July 16 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nKnowing the threat is only half the work. This session is about what you do next. Building directly on Session 1\, this session addresses the three workplace violence scenarios most relevant to community health centers: de-escalation\, active assailant\, and personal relationship violence. Participants leave with a clear understanding of each threat type\, the protocols that may apply\, and the decision-making framework to distinguish between them. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDistinguish between workplace violence scenarios that call for de-escalation and those in which de-escalation is contraindicated\nDescribe the Run/Hide/Fight framework and explain how it applies to a community health center\nUnderstand what a Type IV workplace safety protocol needs to accomplish and what elements your health center’s version should include\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:DEI and Nondiscrimination Laws: Navigating a Shifting Legal Landscape | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in case law and federal policy are reshaping how key nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers are being interpreted\, applied\, and enforced by agencies\, funders\, and regulatory authorities. These shifts have raised questions about the legality of long-standing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (“DEI”) policies and practices and may create tension with other programmatic\, contractual\, or state-level legal commitments. \nThis webinar will provide health centers with an overview of applicable nondiscrimination laws—including Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act\, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act\, the Age Discrimination Act\, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act —and explore how the legal environment is evolving. Because the legal and policy context is rapidly changing\, the program will incorporate the most up-to-date developments available at the time of the session\, giving participants practical guidance on how to approach DEI-related activities (such as targeted programs\, data collection\, and employment practices) in light of legal uncertainty and shifting norms. \n*DISCLAIMER: Content will be updated prior to the webinar to reflect the latest legal and policy changes. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify the core nondiscrimination laws applicable to health centers and their scope of enforcement.\nUnderstand recent and emerging case law and federal policy developments that affect DEI-related policies and practices.\nEvaluate how DEI initiatives may create compliance risks or conflicts with other legal requirements.\nApply a risk-informed approach to deciding whether and how to continue DEI-related activities in a changing environment.\n\nAudience: \n\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nHR Professionals\nCEOs\nCFOs\nCOOs\nCMOs\nWorkforce Development Leaders\nExecutive Leadership\nLegal Counsel\nPolicy Staff\nProgram and operations leaders involved in planning or implementing DEI-related initiatives\n\nPresenter:\n\nMolly Evans\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Managing Difficult Patient Relationships at Health Centers | Compliance Summer Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 3 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Managing Difficult Patient Encounters: Strategies for Health Center Staff and Providers | Tuesday\, July 21 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nCommunity health centers serve patients with complex medical\, behavioral\, and social needs\, and difficult patient encounters are an inevitable part of that mission. This webinar provides health center staff and providers with practical guidance on managing challenging patient relationships over time\, addressing what happens after the immediate encounter and focusing on the ongoing clinical\, legal\, and administrative strategies available when a patient’s behavior presents recurring challenges. For those who have attended our Safe to Care: Protecting Health Center Staff webinars on de-escalation and workplace violence prevention\, this session builds directly on that foundation and provides the next layer of guidance. For those joining us for the first time\, no prior training is required\, and the session is designed to stand fully on its own. Attendees will leave with concrete tools they can apply immediately in clinical and administrative settings. \nLearning Objectives\n\nKnow when de-escalation is enough and when a situation calls for a longer-term clinical or administrative response.\nUnderstand the legal guardrails (e.g.\, ADA\, Section 504\, HRSA requirements) that shape how health centers can and can’t manage difficult patients.\nDocument difficult patient interactions in a way that protects staff and holds up if things escalate.\n\n\nSession 2: Terminating the Patient Relationship: Legal Requirements\, Policy Considerations\, and Risk Management for Health Centers | Thursday\, July 23 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nWhen ongoing management strategies have been exhausted\, health centers must understand how to end a patient relationship lawfully and defensibly. This webinar is the second in a two-part package on managing difficult patient relationships and is designed to be taken together with our companion webinar on managing difficult patient encounters. Attendees of both sessions will gain a complete framework moving from immediate and ongoing management strategies through the formal termination process. For those who have also participated in our Safe to Care: Protecting Health Center Staff webinars on de-escalation and workplace violence prevention\, this package builds directly on that foundation. For those joining us for the first time\, no prior training outside of the two-part package is required\, and this session is designed to stand fully on its own within that pairing. Attendees will gain the knowledge needed to evaluate existing policies\, draft compliant termination notices\, and make sound decisions when the patient relationship can no longer continue. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand when termination is the right next step\, and when it isn’t\nKnow the difference between immediate discharge and formal termination\, and how to apply that distinction to real situations at your health center\nDraft or evaluate a termination policy and notice letter that protects your health center\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCMOs\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\n\nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Contracts at the Health Center: A Practical Guide | Compliance Summer Camp 2026
DESCRIPTION:These trainings are Week 4 of 6 in the “Compliance Summer Camp 2026” webinar series. \n\nSession 1: Health Center Contracting: HRSA Requirements\, Procurement Standards\, and Practical Strategies | Tuesday\, July 28 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nAgreements that support the Health Center Program are a central focus of HRSA review and scrutiny\, particularly during Operational Site Visits. From vendor and professional services agreements to hospital affiliations\, contracted services arrangements\, and referral agreements\, HRSA expects health centers to maintain agreements that clearly reflect applicable program requirements and support appropriate oversight of the health center project. This webinar will examine the federal requirements applicable to health center agreements\, with a particular focus on contracts for in-scope services reflected on Form 5A\, Column II\, and referral arrangements reflected on Form 5A\, Column III. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the key contractual provisions and documentation expectations that health centers must address to demonstrate compliance with HRSA requirements. \nThe webinar will review contracting requirements set forth in HRSA’s Health Center Program Compliance Manual\, including requirements related to record retention\, monitoring\, and access to records. In addition\, presenters will address the federal procurement standards under 2 C.F.R. Part 200\, including practical considerations related to procurement processes and competition requirements. \nThrough practical examples and sample contract provisions\, attendees will learn strategies for strengthening health center contracting processes and aligning agreements with Health Center Program requirements. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify the contractual requirements applicable to agreements that support the Health Center Program\, including contracts and referral arrangements for in-scope services\nUnderstand the federal procurement standards under 2 C.F.R. Part 200 and their application to health center contracting activities\nEvaluate practical strategies for structuring\, reviewing\, and maintaining agreements to support compliance during HRSA oversight and Operational Site Visits\n\n\nSession 2: Negotiating and Managing Health Center Contracts: Legal Terms\, Risk Allocation\, and Ongoing Contract Oversight | Thursday\, July 30 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET\nSigning a contract is not the end of the process; it is the beginning of an ongoing obligation that requires active management and periodic review. This webinar builds on the foundational principles introduced in the first session and focuses on the practical skills health center leaders and staff need to negotiate favorable contract terms\, identify and push back on provisions that create unacceptable legal or financial risk\, and manage contracts effectively throughout their lifecycle. Special attention is given to provisions that arise frequently in health center contracting and that carry heightened significance in the context of federal program compliance\, nonprofit governance\, and the health center’s mission. \nLearning Objectives\n\nSpot the contract terms that matter most (i.e.\, indemnification\, insurance\, termination\, data security)\, and understand what they mean for your health center’s risk\nKnow which terms are worth pushing back on\, how to ask for changes without derailing a deal\, and when to call your attorney\nBuild or improve a contract management system that keeps your health center organized\, compliant\, and ahead of renewals\n\n\nAudience:\n\nCOOs\nCompliance Officers\nRisk Managers\nClinical Leadership\n\n\nREGISTER NOW
