RHC Can Win a Free AED by Attending the Forum!

Want to attend the Forum this year? 
Think it will cost your facility too much?

What if we helped you get here? CRHC offers scholarships to RHCs to help staff members attend this important event. Approved staff members can receive up to $500.00 per person to attend The Forum. Please see the attached flyer for more information on how your clinic can receive funds to attend the Forum 2013. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity!

Among many other panels and breakout sessions, this year CRHC, and their partner in the event, ClinicNET, are pleased to provide two Emergency Preparedness sessions. Speakers include Lonnie Knudsen from Magnum Solutions, LLC. and Gerald Lawrence, Director of Facilities of Mercy Hospital in Joplin, MO.

Knudsen will touch on best practices for Radio Communication, provide an overview of NIMS training, and discuss the importance of Healthcare Partnerships. Lawrence will recount the Joplin tornado event and steps that medical staffs go through to take care of patients during and after, security issues, lesson learned from a root cause analysis and what Mercy Hospital of Joplin is doing to improve the hardening of the facility for the future.

At the end of the Emergency Preparedness sessions, a brand new, free AED will be given away to one of the RHC clinics in attendance – that could be your clinic!
