Join us at the Midwest Stream Forum in Grand Rapids, MI on Monday afternoon, September 18th, for some great intensive educational sessions!  Is your health center ready to train staff on the topic of the opioid epidemic? Our session on the opioid crisis will give you key issues in prevention, treatment, and the science behind it. You will also be introduced to a toolkit that will provide best practices in planning and implementing your substance abuse services. If your health center needs some assistance in developing a strategy to increase access to care for the Ag Worker population, then don't miss the intensive on developing a migrant-health action plan. Rounding out the afternoon is an informative session on Diabetes for both managers and front line staff. First learn how your health center can learn about national diabetes programs that are providing quality services and steps for implementation; then take part in an interactive session that will help participants understand the self-care behaviors recommended for optimal management of diabetes. All of these sessions are included with your registration, so don't miss out!
