Testimonials
"As someone new to the world of QI (newer leader in LTC) I found this very valuable as the session offered a very good overview of different aspects of quality improvement."
"I came away from this session feeling more confident about my ability to lead my team through QI implementation."
"It was clear to me that the women who led this session are experts with a lot of experience walking the talk, so to speak. I learned a lot and I plan to implement what I learned here today."
