Take Action to Support Bipartisan Workforce Bills in Congress

For the first time, bipartisan bills have been introduced to provide substantial federal funding to scale up Community Health Center-led workforce development programs. These bills represent a meaningful step toward addressing the workforce shortage faced by Community Health Centers. Learn more about these bills.

More congressional co-sponsors = greater likelihood it becomes law.

Will you help us increase the number of co-sponsors for the Health Care Workforce Innovation Act (H.R. 7307 / S. 4957) by:

• Sharing your workforce challenges with your Representatives and Senators.
• Educating them about how expanding workforce development programs would help to meet those challenges.
• Emphasizing that these programs create good-paying jobs with rewarding career paths in rural and underserved communities.

For example, could your health center operate more efficiently and serve more patients with greater recruitment of medical and dental assistants, pharmacy technicians, community health workers, peer support specialists, and other allied health professionals?

NACHC is counting on you to lead the way at your health center by encouraging colleagues to call easily, quickly, and effectively.

Did you know?

• Congress measures the importance of an issue by counting the number of calls received in a day;
• Everyone has the power to quickly raise this issue to the top of their priorities.
