2026 State Policies and Issues Forum

The State Policies & Issues Forum (P&I) is an annual forum that provides an opportunity for SC Community Health Center professionals and board leaders to discuss topics focused on the sustainability of CHC's as they improve access to preventative and primary care services. Clinicians, executives, board members, community development staff and advocates assemble to hear field experts offer insight on issues impacting health centers, dialogue, and meet with their lawmakers at the State House to advance advocacy efforts.

This year's event will be held on January 13-14, 2026. Structured similar to previous year’s events, both days will include educational sessions that will center around topics outlined on the SCPHCA’s current Legislative Agenda. Sessions on both days will be held at the Marriott Columbia.

Please join us to gain a better understanding of how the new political dynamic may affect key priorities and potentially reshape the future of health centers. You do not want to miss this opportunity!
