CHCAMS 39th Annual Conference
Beau Rivage Resort and Casino
A Legacy of Care, a Future of Possibilities
The legacy of community health centers in Mississippi is built on compassion, resilience, advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to caring for underserved communities. For decades, health centers have served as trusted pillars of care, meeting patients where they are and ensuring access to quality healthcare regardless of circumstance. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, that legacy remains stronger than ever while opening the door to new possibilities for innovation, growth, and transformation.
This year’s theme, “A Legacy of Care, A Future of Possibility,” reflects both the enduring foundation and forward-thinking vision of Mississippi’s community health centers. While honoring the generations of leaders, providers, and advocates who helped shape the health center movement, the conference will also focus on the opportunities ahead—from workforce development and integrated care models to emerging technologies, value-based strategies, health equity initiatives, and innovative approaches to patient engagement. Together, we are not only preserving a legacy of service, but building a future where community health centers continue to thrive and lead.
The 39th Annual CHCAMS Conference will bring together health center executives, clinical leaders, advocates, board members, and industry partners for three days of education, collaboration, networking, and strategic planning. Attendees will hear from industry experts on the latest healthcare trends, policy developments, operational strategies, and innovations impacting community health centers across Mississippi and beyond.
Sponsors play a vital role in helping advance our mission while connecting directly with the individuals shaping the future of healthcare in our state. Through meaningful engagement opportunities, sponsors will have the chance to build relationships with decision-makers, showcase solutions, and support the continued growth and success of Mississippi’s health centers.
Face-to-face networking, engaging presentations, and memorable experiences await your team at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, September 22–24, 2026.
