National Public Health and Hospital Institute

Education

To help public hospitals and health systems continue their success in serving their communities, NPHHI offers a wide array educational services, including specialty meetings, conferences, professional development programs, and technical assistance conference calls and webinars. These programs serve as forums for members to learn and exchange ideas on how safety net providers can address new issues and challenges.

Our educational programs speak to current health care issues in Washington and around the country that are of particular interest to safety net providers and the patients they serve. These programs provide key opportunities to discuss new developments and ways to effect change.
