2026 Community Health Center Day

Join us for Community Health Center Lobby Day at the Virginia General Assembly!

The Virginia Community Healthcare Association (VCHA) invites Community Health Center leaders, staff, advocates, and partners to join us at the General Assembly for a day of engagement, education, and impact. This event brings together professionals from across the Commonwealth to highlight the critical role Community Health Centers play in expanding access to affordable, high-quality care for all Virginians.

Participants will meet directly with lawmakers and share firsthand stories about the challenges and successes facing our health centers. Breakfast will be provided, and attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and strengthen our unified advocacy voice.

Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or attending for the first time, your presence matters. Together, we can ensure that policymakers understand the importance of sustained support for Virginia’s CHCs and the communities they serve.

• We’ll begin with breakfast in House Subcommittee Room 8 from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM.
• Morning legislative meetings will run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by floor recognition during the lunch hour.
• Afternoon meetings will continue from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
