The Fall 2026 CHCF Alumni Meeting is less than two weeks away, and there’s still time to join us in Los Angeles!
The CHCF Alumni Board and Healthforce Center Program Office have planned a full program bringing together alumni, current fellows, and health care leaders for timely conversations about AI, the future of Medi-Cal, leadership, and creating meaningful change in health care—along with plenty of opportunities to reconnect, meet alumni across cohorts, and strengthen our community.
Online registration is still open through Sunday, September 13. After that, you are still welcome to join us and register onsite. Overnight room guarantees have closed, but we would love to have you at the meeting.

What’s Ahead
We’ll kick off with opening keynote speaker Matt Wallaert, a behavioral scientist and author of Start at the End: How to Build Products That Create Change. Matt will challenge us to think differently about how we create meaningful and lasting change in our organizations and communities.
From there, we will have a timely AI panel discussion examining how artificial intelligence is changing health care, our organizations, and the way we lead.
We’ll also celebrate Cohort 24 through CHIP presentations and graduation, joined by special guest Katelyn Jetelina of Your Local Epidemiologist.
The meeting will also turn our attention to the future of Medi-Cal. A special Future of Medi-Cal Commission panel will be moderated by Commission Co-Chair Mark Ghaly, former California HHS Secretary, bringing together perspectives on the future of the program and what lies ahead for California.
And these are just a few of the voices you’ll hear throughout the meeting. Our full program features an outstanding group of alumni, health care leaders, and experts.
Reconnect with the Alumni Community
This meeting is also about reconnecting with the people who make the CHCF alumni network such a valuable community. Amira Barger author of The Price of Nice: Why Comfort Keeps Us Stuck and 4 Actions for Real Change will lead a dedicated alumni networking session designed to make new connections across cohorts and tap into the collective experience and expertise in the room.
We’ll close our time together with Varun Soni, a nationally recognized scholar of religions and interfaith leader whose work explores the intersection of spirituality, culture, and contemporary life. Drawing on a career that spans higher education, media, entertainment, and interfaith engagement, Varun will bring a distinctive perspective to our closing conversation and send us off with plenty to reflect on.
Represent your cohort!
If you’ve been thinking about coming, it’s not too late! And if you’re already registered, reach out to your cohort and encourage others to join you!
