What it reported doing in 2024
INFORMATION SERVICES & RESOURCES: From July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, Health Outreach Partners conducted 16 webinars and in-person training sessions with approximately 2,382 participants; more than 30% were from community health centers or primary care associations.Health Outreach Partners collaborated with 21 National Training and Technical Assistance Partners (NTTAPs) on ten webinars and eight resource publications, two conference workshops, five working groups, and three learning collaboratives (with four sessions each). Participant numbers were collected for all events; however, health center status was not always available. HOP also participated in several in-person conferences and training workshops.Due to an increase in resource publications this year, the number of live events we led was lower than the previous year, resulting in fewer individual participants. Additionally, changes in federal marketing policies associated with the administrative transition impacted participation numbers.Conferences: HOP participated in six conferences. At the Spring 2025 Agricultural Worker Symposium, HOP moderated eight in-person sessions and led two strategy-sharing workshops, reaching more than 140 participants over the three-day event.
