CPCA’s 2025 Financial Conference: Advancing Health Center Sustainability
The California Primary Care Association wrapped up its highly anticipated Financial Conference in May at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla. This sold-out event underscored the growing demand for collaboration, innovation, and strategic learning among California’s health center financial professionals.
The conference featured three specialized learning tracks tailored to the unique needs of:
Billing Managers, who explored the latest in revenue cycle management and compliance.
Chief Financial Officers, who engaged in deep dives on forecasting, budgeting, and strategic planning.
Workforce Leaders, who tackled challenges in recruitment, retention, and staffing.
Each track offered targeted sessions led by industry experts, while general sessions brought all attendees together for broader discussions on financial sustainability and health equity.
The opening general session, Navigating Federal Policy Changes: Implications for FQHC Funding and Financial Stability, featured a panel of experts who unpacked recent federal policy shifts and their impact on Section 330 funding, Medicaid, and reimbursement structures. The lunch general session, Understanding Advocacy in Action: A Case Study in Navigating Reimbursement Policy, shared a compelling case study on how data-driven advocacy is shaping reimbursement policy in California.
The conference concluded with the closing general session, California’s Prop 35 Funding: What Health Centers Need to Know. This session provided a comprehensive overview of the newly approved Proposition 35 and its implications for health center funding. It was a fitting finale that left attendees informed and energized for the road ahead.
As the conference came to a close, attendees left with a clearer understanding of the financial and policy issues facing health centers today. The 2025 Financial Conference served as a valuable opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, gain practical knowledge, and consider strategies for maintaining the financial health of their organizations.
