Northeast Florida Coalition for Access to Healthcare Quarterly Meeting

Watch the instant replay here! Due to a significant reduction in project funding, HPCNEF will, unfortunately, not be able to continue supporting Coalition meetings. We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has been part of the Coalition over the past four years!

The Northeast Florida Coalition for Access to Healthcare is the re-imagined Uninsured Workgroup. The overarching goal of the coalition is to ensure that local providers and other healthcare partners work collaboratively and identify available local resources to address issues related to access to healthcare.

Practitioners, community workers, and providers interested in ensuring access to quality healthcare in Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, St. Johns, and Volusia counties are invited to attend.
