2014 Health Information
Exchange Conference
What is the Safety Net Scholarship?
The safety net clinic scholarship is supported by the
California HealthCare Foundation, based in
Oakland, California. The scholarship will allow up to fifteen awards for staff members
at safety net clinics. The scholarship lowers the cost for a staff member to $100
per registration for the 2014 Redwood MedNet conference.
What is a Safety Net Clinic?
California safety net clinics are defined not by legal terms
or by organizational structures or by scope of practice but by a common mission to
provide health care services to individuals and their families regardless of a
patient's ability to pay. For a detailed analysis see the CHCF Report
California Safety Net
Clinic Primer.
Who qualifies for the safety net clinic
scholarship?
The staff member must be a current employee at a safety
net clinic in California. A contractor who is not an employee of the clinic does
not qualify.
Fifteen Scholarships are available.
The scholarships are offered on a rolling basis until all 15
are awarded.
Note: 12 of 15 scholarships have been awarded as of June 30th
