We were fortunate to have some of our staff members presented last week at the Illinois Primary Health Care Association (IPHCA) conference! Sam Kurnik, Medical Director of Quality and Performance Improvement, and Colleen Murphy, Manager of Quality and Data Management, presented "Creating and Leveraging a Quality Plan in a Substance Use Disorder Clinic" about the benefits of creating and tracking quality measures for a subpopulation. Erin Howes presented “Creating a Culture of Quality” sharing best practices around data transparency, financing and growing a quality team, and the importance of staff recognition and celebration. Thank you to our staff who presented and to the IPHCA for providing us with a platform to make our voice heard as an organization! #ILALC24 #IPHCAconference2024 #Unitedbyaboldmission #ValueCHCs

Two of our team members received awards at this year's Illinois Primary Health Care Association Conference! Board Chair Rev. Luis F. Reyes received the IPHCA Consumer Board Dedication Award, and Erin Howes, MPH, Senior Director of Quality and Practice Transformation, received the Clinical Quality Champion Award. These awards were presented to Rev. Reyes and Erin Howes by our CEO Lynn Hopkins (all three pictured below). We thank them both for consistently going above and beyond to make PrimeCare a hub that provides high-quality, compassionate, and culturally respectful healthcare for the communities we serve. We'd also like to thank IPHCA for helping us recognize them! #ILALC24 #IPHCAconference2024 #Unitedbyaboldmission #ValueCHCs
