Join the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) STAR² Center and Community Health Center Inc./Weitzman Institute for a three-part webinar series focused on the Special Considerations for the Retention and Recruitment of Mental Health Providers. In this webinar series, presenters will speak to the importance of building a mental health provider pipeline, the development of inclusive workplaces that engage, retain, and recruit mission-driven providers, and the importance of understanding the essential contributions of the mental health workforce to community health centers. As the conversation around mental health continues to grow, this is a fundamental area that all health centers must understand and be prepared to meet the needs of providers, patients, and the community they serve.

The STAR² Center invites health center and Primary Care Association workforce staff to participate in a three-part webinar series centered on our Data Profile Dashboards. Presenters will provide an overview of the annually updated resource, highlight changes in the data included in this year’s iteration, and walk through how to navigate the interactive dashboards to make the most of the data they contain. This series will coincide with the release of the 2020-2021 Data Profile Dashboards to all health center CEOs and kick start the data use agreement process for our state level partners.

The field of medicine has a torrid history of racism that continues to shape the experiences of patients and providers today. Among the many ways that racism manifests itself in health care is through the lack of representation in our health care workforce and in patient engagement and satisfaction surveys where patients continue to report better care when they see providers who share their racial and ethnic identities. Many members of the health care industry, including those who educate future health care workers, are working hard to dismantle the racism that pervades the field. To adequately eliminate racism in our work, we must be able to identify it, call problems out, call people in, and invest in effective strategies that simultaneously promote health equity and workforce inclusion and belonging. In this webinar, led by Michael Curry, CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, four panelists will discuss their perspectives on racism in medicine, how it shapes provider and patient experiences, and strategies to build a more anti-racist, equitable, and inclusive healthcare system.

Michael Curry, President & CEO, Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers
