Once a year, the broader Health Care for the Homeless community comes from all over the country to share insight around our work and help one another grow and learn. It’s an occasion for innovative thought and a meeting of the minds. And the 2017 National Health Care for the Homeless Conference and Policy Symposium, Working Together for Access, promises to be no exception. From June 21 through 24, there’s a ton going on and dozens of our very own staff members and clients will be presenting, organizing and attending the conference.
Our national staff members, Barbara Dipietro, Regina Reed and Katherine Cavanaugh, have been working hard to make the event a success with the National Health Care for the Homeless Council. Historically, our staff members have taken a leading role in the National Council. Most recently, Lawanda Williams serves on the Clinicians Network Steering Committee, Chauna Brocht serves on the Respite Care Providers' Network Steering Committee, Kevin Lindamood is President of the Board of Directors and Nilesh is Chair of the Research Committee.
Staff members and clients have put together a wide range of workshops. Here’s a list of some of those workshops and who is involved…

We expect plenty to come from these presentations and look forward to sharing more about them with you in the months ahead. If you’re attending the conference, let us know how it’s going by tweeting @hchomeless or emailing Kate at kleisner@hchmd.org.
Through the end of March 2024, we’re offering hiring bonuses for full-time and part-time social work positions in our clinics.
