Innovation and Training the Next Generation

January 20, 2012 Sofia Dupi

One thing that attracted me to CHC was its commitment to innovation and training the next generation of health care providers. They go hand in hand. As new innovations are discovered staff needs to learn about them and you wouldn’t want to train the next generation of health care providers on old approaches that are no longer considered a best practice. CHC has several important programs to help accomplish these goals, like the Weitzman Symposium, and the Conversations on Health…

Facebook can be a tool to help…

October 28, 2011 Hope Brigham

One of the most important things I have learned over my first two months of serving within the Community Health Center, Inc. is to always try and keep the community feeling like they have a sense of involvement. In Middletown, the construction of the new medical building is something that grabs your attention when you are passing through Main Street but sometimes people can forget amongst the bare structure and production, the sole purpose of the new building, which is…

On Wednesday, CHC Sr. Vice President and Clinical Director Margaret Flinter and CHC Chief Quality Officer Daren Anderson attended the final meeting of the State-Wide Primary Care Access Authority (watch the CT-N Video). Here are Margaret’s reflections on the final meeting. Very early Wednesday morning, I walked into Room 1c of the Legislative Office Building to prepare to lead the last meeting of the Statewide Primary Care Access Authority, a group convened by Senator Williams and other legislative leaders in 2007…
