FQHC Support Group

  • 1.  FQHC Support Group

    Posted 05-25-2025 21:08

    Hello!

    I have posted a few times about things that have come up since I recently took my position at an FQHC and have gotten wonderful feedback and lots of support! I wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone working at an FQHC wanted to try to get together virtually (maybe quarterly) to discuss challenges and share ideas? This is a really unique space and I feel like there is SO much work to be done nursing-focused in these organizations. At times I feel like I'm eating an elephant! If anyone is interested in getting a group together, please let me know!

    Hello,

    I'm 3 months into my role working for the CT primary care association, having previously worked in acute care. I totally agree on "eating an elephant" and I would love to be part of an FQHC group!

    I'd love that!.  Also, I just saw this resource for those of you who might be concerned about it.

    Medicaid and SNAP Data Sharing: What Advocates Need to Know

    On June 13, the Associated Press reported that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shared the personal data of Medicaid enrollees in California, Illinois, Washington and the District of Columbia with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for immigration enforcement purposes. In response, the Protecting Immigrant Families (PIF) coalition put together this with suggested actions and key messages.
