The South Carolina Primary Health Care Association sponsors a statewide Human Resource Network (HRN) to assist its member organizations with developing the knowledge, expertise, skills, and resources necessary to build and maintain a strong and effective workforce to support South Carolina’s primary care safety net.  The goals are to: 

• Enhance individual expertise through shared knowledge and resources;

• Develop respect for Human Resource (HR) professionals as critical business partners in health center management;
• Support and promote health center growth through effective workforce development;
• Serve as a clearinghouse (and ensure validity) of information, tools and resources;
• Develop benchmarks for measuring organizational performance related to human resource management;
• Promote state, regional and national recognition of community health center HR professionals; and
• Provide HR professionals with a network of support.

At the monthly meetings of the HRN, human resource professionals from across the state have the opportunity to participate in educational programs, share best practices, and work collaboratively on key strategic issues affecting the health center workforce.  For more information about the SCPHCA Human Resource Network, contact Kenya Mingo at kenyam@scphca.org.
