The California State Rural Health Association (CSRHA), the California Hospital Association (CHA), and the California Primary Care Association (CPCA) are partnering to form the Rural Connection Coalition (RCC) to conduct a statewide needs assessment focused on identifying organizational needs, potential project concepts, and partnership opportunities in advance of upcoming CalRHT funding opportunities.
Join us as we discuss a newly developed needs assessment tool designed specifically for hospitals, FQHCs, clinics, Critical Access Hospitals, and Tribal entities. This tool will allow health care organizations to find partners to develop proposals for CalRHT funding and allow each participant to list the strengths it can bring to a partnership as well as the gaps it would like to fill.
Speakers will detail how to use the needs assessment tool and address how the coalition effort will help:
- Identify gaps, opportunities, and areas where our organizations may be able to support, convene, or partner on future projects.
- Encourage organizations to begin thinking early about potential partnerships and CalRHT applications.
- Better understand statewide needs, priorities, and which organizations are planning to pursue funding opportunities.
