NACNHSC consults, advises, and makes recommendations to the HHS Secretary and the HRSA Administrator with respect to their responsibilities. NACNHSC also reviews and comments on regulations promulgated by the Secretary under Subpart II, Part D of Title III of the Public Health Service Act.

During the September 2018 meetings, NACNHSC will continue its discussion from the May 15, 2018, meeting to develop recommendations on the current NHSC focus areas and finalize policy recommendations to the Secretary and the HRSA Administrator. The current circumstances to strengthen the healthcare workforce and NHSC's role in the expansion and improvement of access to quality opioid and substance use disorder treatment in rural and underserved areas is an important opportunity for NACNHSC to add its voice. For this reason, NACNHSC will develop comprehensive policy recommendations and a framework to articulate a clear vision and mission statement that aligns with the BHW and HRSA strategic plan. An agenda will be posted on the NACNHSC website prior to the meeting. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
