MPCA’s 2025 Annual Conference, From Policy to Practice: Adapting to a Changing Healthcare Landscape will be held at the Motor City Casino in Detroit, MI. This conference is attended by approximately 300 attendees including CEOs, operational, financial, clinical, and dental leadership, board members, and health center clinicians.
This year’s conference will be held September 22-24.
The conference will have five main focus areas including:
- Value-Based Care Delivery: Value-based care delivery improves health outcomes, reduces disparities, supports health center sustainability, decreases the total cost of care, and improves the experience of patients and team members. High-quality, team-based, integrated, and innovative services are essential to the success of value-based care delivery.
- Health Information Technology & Data: Health information technology and data will be leveraged to improve care quality and efficiency, support positive and engaging care delivery experiences for patients and team members, and enable better decision-making supporting value-based care. Supporting technology infrastructure and security, processes that rely on technology, and the experience people have interacting with technology are critical in implementing and optimizing HIT.
- People, Workforce, & Training: Through people, workforce, and training collaboration and partnerships, we will engage health centers in strategies that attract, cultivate, and invest in people necessary to support their mission and advance health centers as innovative training partners and employers centered on diversity, wellbeing, and inclusivity.
- Health Center Resilience & Excellence: Our focus on health center resilience and excellence will maintain and grow health centers’ maturity, position for organizational sustainability and financial strength, ensure competitiveness as preferred providers, and champion operational excellence in light of evolving environmental factors.
- Government Affairs and Advocacy: Through government affairs and advocacy, we will influence and advance policy that underpins thriving and sustainable health center services and other resources that support equitable health outcomes. Our strategies will deepen relationships with policymakers, invest in collaboration with aligned partners, and mobilize all levels of health centers as advocates to ensure their perspectives and experiences are consistently heard in policy-making.
Conference sessions are 60-75 minutes in length.
