W elcome to the Community Care Network of Kansas 2020 Annual Conference. While virtual this

year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the speakers, programs and training we have assembled for you are stronger than ever. Our theme – Health. Equity. Justice. the Foundation of Community Clinics harkens back to the origins of the health center movement in the midst of the Civil Rights movement. Today, a renewed push for equality and social justice in all that we do underscores the necessity for such a foundational focus. And because the four powerful days of sessions will be online, we encourage you to share these transformative days as a team.

This year’s annual conference features national, state, and regional experts guiding attendees to higher levels of understanding in areas of primary, dental, and behavioral health care. There will be keen insights for support staff, team-building that matters, and thought-provoking discussions on racial disparities and social injustice that have been laid bare in Kansas and throughout the nation by the pandemic.

Our conference is not limited to professional development, but personal growth as well. Health equity mirrors the societal standards of justice – and we have a long way to go. We will use this time together to recommit to mission, to explore the various paths in front of us, and to share the journey together.

Such a unique time in history requires a unique conference. Community Care is proud to share this experience with all of you.

Daniel Dawes, JD

Reduced life expectancy, worsening health outcomes, health inequity, and declining health care options — these are now realities for most Americans. However, in a country of more than 325 million people, addressing everyone’s issues is challenging. How can we effect beneficial change for everyone so we all can thrive? What is the great equalizer?

In his book, Daniel E. Dawes argues that political determinants of health create the social drivers — including poor environmental conditions, inadequate transportation, unsafe neighborhoods, and lack of healthy food options—that affect all other dynamics of health. By understanding these determinants, their origins, and their impact on the equitable distribution of opportunities and resources, we will be better equipped to develop and implement actionable solutions to close the health gap.

Scott Gold, Managing Partner, BKD, LLP

While working to respond to the COVID pandemic, Health Centers received a tremendous amount of support. This support came in the form of grant funds, provider relief payments, the payroll protection and EIDL loan programs, and other various support. It is important that Health Centers approach all of the funds that were available to them with the mindset that it is not if, but when federal auditors review Health Center use of these funds and records, because reconciliation and accountability will come. During this presentation, we will review all of the funds available to Health Centers and discuss the “Federal Audits of the Future” to assist Health Centers with preparing and maintain auditable records related to the stimulus funds they received while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yvette Highsmith-Francis, MM, Vice President, Community Health Center, Inc’s Eastern Region

Objectives: 1. Managing Compliance around new funding related to COVID– 9. 2. Review previous audit work plans of HHS Office of Inspector General and Division of Financial Integrity of grant funds to understand how audits of COVID-19 stimulus funds will potentially be approached. 3. Discuss financial statement audit considerations after FASB works through and provides guidance to financial statement auditors in regards to stimulus grant funds.

Impact of Racial Injustices, Health Equity and Paths for Moving Forward


Cindy Barr, RN, EDAC, Operations & Facilities Planner, Capital Link

This session is an opportunity for participants to pause and reflect on lessons learned in the midst of an extraordinary response to our communities’ needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we move from crisis response to a new normal, health centers have an opportunity to reorganize and realign their facilities to not only function safely and effectively now, but incorporate added flexibility to support an agile response to new challenges ahead. Experiences of peers across the country will be shared to afford a pool of possibilities for reorganizing space to align with a streamlined entry process, creating safe and effective environments for patient engagement both onsite and offsite, and redefining team work zones. Strategies for optimizing readiness for future rapid response in everyday spaces will be explored including community rooms, group rooms and waiting zones. Participants will have an opportunity to share challenges and successes within their own facilities.
