Pavilion Ballroom West (Hilton Portland)
Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) began as a national demonstration program that started in 1985, was replicated in the 1987 McKinney Act, and now serves over 850,000 people experiencing homelessness each year through 270 federally funded health centers. Over three decades, the National HCH Council has gathered the interests of health care professionals, researchers, advocates and people without homes into a respected, coherent and principled movement that insists upon accessible, quality care and the human right to housing and health care.
In this interactive session, long-time leaders in HCH will explore the vision and values with which we started, the evolution of the model of care, our impact to date, and the future of HCH in a rapidly evolving health care environment.
Registration for this significant session, occurring on Friday morning during the Learning Labs period, is FREE for those who have been involved in homelessness for 20 years or more (automatically calculated with on-line registration), and $50 for all others. Participation is limited to the first 125 registrants.
