A Discussion with Faith & Community Leaders
You are Invited to an
HHS Conference Call on
Fostering Careers in Health Care:
A Discussion with Faith & Community Leaders
Please join Joshua DuBois, Executive Director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and Mary Wakefield, PhD, RN, Administrator, Health Resources and Services Administration for a conversation on how the Affordable Care Act is fostering health careers and expanding access to primary care, particularly in underserved urban and rural communities.
For too long, our nation has suffered from a shortage of primary care health professionals. As our nation grows and ages, and as we seek to develop a more efficient and effective health care system, we will need even more primary care practitioners in the future. The Affordable Care Act invests in the training and development of primary care professionals to help meet the future health care needs of our country.
We want to ensure that faith and community leaders have the most up-to-date information and resources to share with your communities and congregations.
The call-in information is below. We hope you are able to join.
