From Strong Foundations to Bold Action
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will host the 14th annual Healthy Safety Net Symposium. The event will take place on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center in East Lansing.
Leaders of Michigan free clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers, Rural Health Centers, hospitals, public health providers, school-based health centers and other safety net health care organizations are invited to attend.
Healthy Safety Net 2024 will bring together more than 250 of Michigan’s leading safety net advocates. We’ll reconvene to focus on what’s new and what’s changing in safety net health care delivery and on opportunities to partner with state and local leaders to address racial and rural health disparities.
Symposium planners will apply to offer continuing education contact hours are for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and social workers.
There's no fee for the symposium, but registration is required. Space is limited.
