Future of Healthcare in Northwest Wisconsin 
Workshop for Members of the Healthcare Industry 

What does the high performance rural health care system of the future look like?  Jennifer Lundblad of the Rural Policy Research Institute will share her vision of the key approaches needed for a system that is not only affordable and accessible for all residents, but delivers high quality, high value services. The presentation will be part of a half-day workshop for area healthcare providers to be held at Hayward’s Flat Creek Inn.

Jennifer Lundblad’s presentation is based on her work as a member of the Health Panel of the national Rural Policy Research Institute (RUPRI).  She is also the President and CEO of Stratis Health, an independent non-profit quality improvement organization based in Bloomington, Minnesota that leads collaboration and innovation in healthcare quality and patient safety.  She has an extensive background in leadership, organization development, and program management for non-profit and education settings. Dr. Lundblad is President of the American Health Quality Association (AHQA), and is a board member for OnPoint Health data. She is also Chair of the Cancer Alliance, and immediate past co-chair of the E-Health Initiative Advisory Committee in Minnesota and a member of the Women’s Health Leadership Trust and Healthcare Quality Professionals.

The Northwest Wisconsin Workforce Investment Board is sponsoring this event as part of an effort to meet the workforce development needs for employers and increase the skilled labor supply for the healthcare industry. The meeting will be held from 10am until 2pm and lunch will be provided at no-charge to participants.
