Annual Educational Conference a Success
Held in Champaign, our 2017 Annual Educational Conference “Helping our Communities Stay Healthy and Prepared” was our largest conference so far with 175 attendees and 33 exhibitors. The opening session was a federal policy update from the National Rural Health Association and attendees had over 20 workshops to choose from on topics including Dealing with the Opioid Crisis, Aging Population in Rural Areas, our Rural Health Clinic Administrative Track and CMS Emergency Rule Training and Exercise Plan Hands on Workshop. Guests enjoyed after hours socials at Brixx Pizza and Old Orchard Lanes. Our next Conference is scheduled for Aug.8-9th in Effingham.
