The annual Wisconsin Rural Health Conference is the statewide forum designed to highlight public policy and operations issues affecting rural health care, identify how the delivery of and access to rural health care are changing and identify ways in which data, technology and people processes are improving care and access for rural populations.
 
The Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality (WCHQ) has announced that registration is now open for its Statewide Quality Improvement Event & Diabetes Summit. With the theme, “The Next Step in Healthcare Quality Improvement,” the event will take place Thursday, June 22 in Madison, Wisconsin.
“This event is not limited to our WCHQ members,” reported WCHQ President/CEO Gabrielle Rude, PhD. “We invite anyone with an interest in healthcare quality to join us.”
The event features a morning session dedicated to presentations on healthcare quality, including immunizations and disparities in the delivery of mental health care. Afternoon speakers will share important information relating to quality care for patients living with diabetes and obesity.
A featured guest will be Novo Nordisk Patient Ambassador and Hawaiian Celebrity Chef Sam Choy. Sam is best known as a key contributor to “Pacific Rim Cuisine.” He has published several best-selling books, has been featured on the Food Network, and was nominated for, and won, multiple James Beard awards for his work as a chef. Sam will share his story of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and how he hopes to motivate others to keep their health and weight management top of mind.
