Registration for this event is being conducted by the Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS)

The Compliance and Risk Management Academy is a year-long learning initiative for health center professionals working in the areas of compliance and risk management.  Together, CHCANYS and FTLF will guide participants through a four-part series of interactive, virtual meetings.


Along with hospitals, New York health centers are key players in the successful distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across the state. On an almost daily basis, health centers are reacting to new information about their role in distribution going forward and determining how to mandate or otherwise strongly encourage staff members to get vaccinated. 

As more and more vaccine becomes available to health centers, they must evaluate the compliance and risk management considerations associated with vaccination of both staff and patients. In this webinar, we will explore legal and compliance considerations associated with the COVID-19 vaccine and how health centers can establish their own distribution plans while mitigating the relevant risks associated with vaccinating staff and patients.

Target Audience

  • Compliance Officers
  • Leadership Staff (Operations, Clinical, Finance)
  • Risk Management Staff
  • Quality Improvement Staff

Please note: Audience is restricted to health center staff only.
