Introduction to Lean for Hospital Leadership
The Office of Rural Health and the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems have put together a great 2-day workshop this September prior to the Rural Health Student Recruitment BBQ at Willamette Park. We hope you will join us for all 3 events. We have a limit of 30 attendees for each workshop held at the Residence Inn, so register by email to Kassie Clarke at clarkek@ohsu.edu as soon as possible. These workshops are focused on rural providers with no charge to CAHs or RHCs.
