Don’t miss out on upcoming ACHE Seminars. Clusters especially are a great place to earn Category I credits towards certification. Seminars do sell out, so register early to reserve a spot.
ACHE also offers on-line seminars. For example, Strategic Planning from Formulation to Action is coming up April 30 – June 11. Its the next best thing to being there.

Dwight Fine of the Missouri Hospital Association spoke on the new “Insure Missouri” policy initiative which would change the face of Medicaid in Missouri. It was an informative program on a timely topic. There were 27 different sites that joined the conference call. Congratulations to the SELPC for their first successful program!
