Coffee Connections Series: Climate Change - The Impact on Health, Wellness & Care Delivery
2022-12-09 09:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
The purpose of this event is to increase awareness and understanding of the impact of climate change on health, wellness, and the care delivery system. It is important for our team, clinic members, and local partners to learn more about where we are on climate change; how it is impacting us locally; how we may integrate this in our existing work; and how climate change is being addressed at the federal, state, and local level through policies and strategies.

Coffee Connections Series: Empowering Communities Through Advocacy to Create A Healthier Orange County
2023-03-31 09:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York)
Our second Coffee Connections event is focused on developing shared language and common understanding of advocacy and civic engagement. It will kick off a long-term conversation on how we can best serve our communities by uplifting their health policy priorities to elected officials, decision makers, and government at all levels to improve public health. This session will dive into practical tactics to create an advocacy framework and learn best practices from experts in the field who have implemented these frameworks and have successfully established relationships and a presence with decision makers. Join us to learn how you and your organization can bridge patient health, community health, and public policy.

Coffee Connections Series: Advancing Community Health Advocacy & Powerbuilding Principles
2025-06-03 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Let’s advance community health together!
Advancing community health is not just about healthcare delivery—it requires a deep understanding of how policy, advocacy, and power-building shape funding decisions at the state and federal levels. This session will begin with a keynote presentation providing an overview of the budget process and the latest updates on federal and state budgets, setting the stage for a deeper conversation on advocacy and power-building.
Following this foundation, we will engage in an interactive discussion on power-building principles, apply advocacy strategies in a hands-on activity, and hear from experienced advocates who are successfully driving policy and systems change. This session will provide both valuable insights and practical tools to strengthen your advocacy efforts and positively influence the future of community health.

Coffee Connections Series: Navigating Care in Uncertain Times: Scenario Planning for Safety Net Organizations
2025-09-05 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Nearly seven months into the new administration, safety net providers, including Community Health Centers, Community Based Organizations, Public Health Agencies, are already feeling the impact of shifts in policy priorities, funding landscapes and operational demands.
In this Coffee Connections session experts from Health Management Associates (HMA) will set the stage with a snapshot of the current environment at the federal, state, and local levels – examining what’s changed, what’s emerging, and what remains uncertain.
Building on this shared understanding, HMA will guide participants through a scenario planning exercise to explore possible trajectories, identify vulnerabilities and opportunities, and outline strategies to sustain and strengthen the safety net.
Join us for a candid, scenario planning focused conversation – facilitated by HMA – designed to equip safety net leaders with the insights and tools needed to navigate uncertainty while continuing to serve our most vulnerable committees.
Session Objectives

Assess how federal, state, and local developments are shaping the safety net environment.
Identify, policy, funding, and operational trends affecting safety net organizations.
Use scenario planning to prepare for a range of possible outcomes over the next 12-48 months.
Leverage peer insights and experiences to strengthen collective advocacy and response.
