Help bring more voices to Putting Care at the Center 2026
With Medicaid and other publicly funded safety net programs under attack, the work of complex care is more critical than ever. Action-oriented conferences with robust peer-to-peer learning are critical to help leaders navigate these changes and maintain and restore motivation. Yet, these same financial pressures leave organizations cutting conference and travel budgets in hopes of avoiding layoffs or direct client impact. You can help serve your community and advance health equity by sponsoring attendance for someone whose organization can’t afford it.
Putting Care at the Center is the Camden Coalition’s annual conference and the premier national convening focused on complex care. The 2026 conference will take place October 14–16 in Oakland, California, bringing together more than 750 people with lived experience, health and social care practitioners, community-based organizations, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and other leaders working to improve care for people with complex health and social needs.
How does this help expand access to the conference?
A contribution helps make it possible for the safety net workforce to participate in Putting Care at the Center.
