AboutHealth Services
Collaboration is the key to our success
We reach out and listen to our customers to determine what is important to them. We evaluate our performance on all of these elements, both collectively and at each member system. We prioritize the identified opportunities to maximize the impact on the populations we serve. Once we have established our collective improvement projects for the year, each system incorporates those into their own work plans in order to allocate appropriate staff and resources.
