2026 Monthly Meetings
Our meetings are open, inclusive, and welcome all who are interested in the health care and social safety nets of Alachua County. Meetings are held on the 4th Friday of the month from 10am-12pm at HealthStreet, 2401 SW Archer Road.
Occasionally, we may meet at other locations for educational purposes and when we do so, that information will be posted along with the date, speaker, and topic for that month. The November meeting is held on the 3rd, not 4th, Friday of the month.
