Day 2 of #CommunityConnect2026 kicks off with a powerful message from Armine Yalnizyan: “The cost of losing a worker is not replacement. It’s disruption. It’s loss of continuity, output, revenue.” Investing in care workers is investing in our economy. #CommunityFirst

📊 How can we improve community support services without understanding who we serve? At #CommunityConnect2026, Dr. John Hirdes stressed: “In the absence of data disadvantaged groups will continue to be disadvantaged.” Better data means better decisions. #CommunityFirst
