Regional workshops

Learning Together in St. Cloud and Mankato

Close to 150 people attended two half-day regional workshops this spring in St. Cloud and Mankato on the topic of “Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care.”  Facilitated by Sarah Horst, Institute of Clinical Systems Improvement, the workshops featured interactive learning focused on foundations for integration:  creating a culture of learning, collaborative communication, and small scale improvement.

“One of our teams met the next morning to plan how we would use what we learned in implementing a health and wellness goal for the team and those we serve.” St. Cloud Participant

Based on positive evaluations, HCH is looking at bringing the program to northern Minnesota in late 2018.  Stay tuned!
