Join us on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 12 pm, at the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel for the 2026 Community Health Net Board of Directors’ Annual Luncheon: Good Health is Freedom.
As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, we reflect on how far we’ve come, not just as a nation, but as a community. In 1776, freedom meant independence. Today, it means much more — the right of every person to live a vibrant and healthy life.
Our speaker, Eric Kiehl, APR, Director of Policy & Partnership at the Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers, the State’s Primary Care Association, will discuss the topic “Shaping the Future of Healthcare: Opportunities and Challenges.”
Mr. Kiehl’s discourse will expound on Community Health Net’s goals to expand access, improve outcomes, and its partnership with the Erie community to continue building a future where healthcare is not a privilege.
Join Community Health Net’s Board of Directors, Executive Staff, Community Leaders and Dignitaries for an informative and inspiring event. Because Good Health Is Freedom.
