Healthcare Program
Requirements and Regulations

April 4 – 5 in Helena, Montana

Health Centers are increasingly reviewed and audited for performance and compliance with program regulations and expectations. HRSA recently issued a new revision of the Health Center Program Requirements Compliance Manual, and while the basic requirements remain, there are many changes in the performance indicators and interpretations. Some new indicators for meeting them have been added; some others have been modified or deleted.

This two-day training will go in-depth into what is required, what is changed, and how to meet and exceed the performance expectations. Be ready for your next Operational Site Visit by attending this very important training.
