It was my first time attending the conference and I truly appreciated the energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge. I really enjoyed the smaller sessions and group chats. As a small hospital and a newbie to health care, I appreciated hearing about the experiences of the group members. I believe a key to a great conference is that you walk away with three or four particular ideas that you can implement right away. I'm walking away with a small book of ideas! Overall, thank you to everyone. Betsy's knowledge and presentations were terrific. Accordant has a terrific team!
