Ever said, “Why didn’t we know that ____ was doing that? We could have let our clients know!” Or, “We need to offer _____ to our clients, but we don’t have the resources to do it.” Ever thought, “With whom might we work together on _______?” We have! HealthFinders’ Community Engagement team is convening a resource-sharing and networking event on Thursday, June 28 and would like you to participate! This event is for front-line staff and coordinators alike. We will be using a fast-paced “world café” style that is engaging and collaborative way of sharing and spreading ideas.
