Greetings from the HRCC!
We trust that everyone who traveled to St Louis last week for Heartland’s 9th Annual Meeting made it home safely and with no delays. Yet another great Heartland annual meeting is complete and it would not have been a success without the hard work of the planning committee or the information from the presenters.
Speaker Slides
Speaker presentations and handouts from the meeting are now available on the Heartland website: www.heartlandcollaborative.org along with the evaluation summary of the meeting.
