Patient Navigator/Community Health Worker Conference, May 12, Norwood, MA

Our friends at PatientNavigatorMass.org have just announced its annual conference is open for registration.

I’m excited about this, as I am every year, because it brings together all kinds of people who work in this area of public health. Every year it’s gotten bigger, no wonder.

It’s also incredibly affordable: $25 for CHWs, students, and patient navigators and $40 for general admission. If your pockets aren’t that deep, they give scholarships. It’s worth attending even if you’re not in Massachusetts.

You are cordially invited to Preparing the Workforce: The 7th Annual Patient Navigator/Community Health Worker Conference on May 12, 2016. In the last few years, we have watched community health workers (CHWs) and patient navigators (PNs) become a vital part of today’s healthcare system. In this 7th annual conference, we will focus our attention on the development of the CHW and PN workforce. The conference offers interactive skills-based learning in a variety of topics through breakout sessions, networking, and resource and poster sessions.
