Trivia!

5. After the Fall conference, I challenged
you:
“When we all gather again in Dallas in the Spring, I plan to ask
the community whether the last six months–the time since we
last met in Chicago–was the best time of improvement,
innovation, and partnership you’ve ever had back where you
receive and provide care.”

19. But there are some important changes
in the route.

20. “It is an impossible thing—for one
starting out on an expedition of this
kind to say in advance what he is
‘going to do’ … we will attempt to
tell you ‘what we have done’ on our
return, which, I dare say, will be
more interesting.”
-George de Long

“What I've found about it is that there are some
folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face-
-they're never going to get it and they're never
going to change. But every once in a while, you'll
run into someone who is eager to listen, eager
to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are
the people we need to reach. We have a
responsibility as parents, older people, teachers,
people in the neighborhood to recognize that.”

31. What we need from you
We all want to engage with you
So make sure to remember to keep a spot at
the table open for us this weekend.
Thank you for this opportunity!

You’re not being “invited to
the table.” This is your
table.

33. Clinician = Care Giver
Patient = Care Receiver
Everyone = Care Improver

Community?
Communities have stories
