COMMUNITY CARE NETWORK OF KANSAS
2021 Annual
Virtual Conference
Sept. | 20 -23 | 2021
Please join Community Care Network of Kansas for our 2021 Annual Conference. For the second year in a row, the conference will be virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID still presents many challenges — however, there is a sense of optimism that we are making progress in our fight against this devastating virus. With multiple effective vaccines available, and with tools such as masking, testing, social distancing, and contact tracing at our disposal, we look toward a brighter future where we emerge from the pandemic stronger and with greater resolve.
Our theme – Emerging Stronger Together – reflects this optimism. We know health centers and community-based clinics throughout the state carry the weight of COVID-related testing, treatment, and vaccination services on top of daily clinic operations. Capacities, resources, and personal mettle are tested every day. Resilient staff respond with professionalism, competence, and compassion. The mighty blow of coronavirus cannot knock this network down.
Four powerful days of sessions will feature national, state, and regional experts guiding attendees to higher levels of understanding related to comprehensive healthcare systems. There will be profound insights for providers, administrators, and support staff; tools to support resiliency and self-care; and thought-provoking discussions on ethics and equity in healthcare. Our conference is committed to professional development and personal growth. We will use this time together to explore the ways we
can and already are emerging stronger together as individuals, staffs, and clinics.
Community Care can’t wait to share this experience with all of you. We encourage clinics to take full advantage of the online platform and allow even more staff to attend. We are, after all, emerging stronger together. Please register today.
