2026 State Policies and Issues Forum

The State Policies & Issues Forum (P&I) is an annual event that brings together South Carolina Community Health Center professionals and board leaders to explore key topics related to the long-term sustainability of CHCs as they expand access to preventive and primary care services. Clinicians, executives, board members, community development staff, and advocates convene to hear from industry experts, engage in dialogue on emerging issues, and meet with lawmakers at the State House to advance advocacy priorities.

The 2026 Forum will take place January 13–14, with both days featuring educational sessions aligned with the SCPHCA’s current Legislative Agenda. All sessions will be held at the Marriott Columbia.

We invite you to join us and gain valuable insight into how the evolving political landscape may influence critical priorities and shape the future of community health centers. Don’t miss this important opportunity!
