Upper Peninsula AHEC Hosts Community Engagement Event

Michigan AHEC's Upper Peninsula Regional Center hosted an Open Spaces Community Engagement event for Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties on August 9 titled: "Healthcare Provider Recruitment and Retention Roundtable."  About fifteen stakeholders and health providers from around the community gathered to discuss identified primary issues in health care for the region such as the recruitment and retention of providers to the area. Questions were asked such as, "How can we create and promote a welcoming atmosphere for health professionals?" and "How can we connect health professionals into the community and provide resources?" The Upper Peninsula Regiona Center will conduct follow-up planning meetings with Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties this fall and winter, with new programming set for 2017.
