March 21, 2014:
The Central Minnesota Circle of Health will meet Thursday, March 27, 2014 at 11:45 AM at the St Cloud Library, Mississippi Room to discuss planning for the 2014 campaign on Medication Safety. We will further discuss the many medication safety problems that our health community deals with and begin to formulate a plan for how best to promote a public campaign on these issues in our 3-county area. We will need your input on:
Which of the many medication safety issues to focus on
Assessing the extent of medication safety problems existing in our health community now
Determining the best metrics to use to assess the extent of the problems and the effectiveness of our campaign
Deciding on the best media to publicize our messages
How best to utilize the resources of our college campus participants
Grant levels to request and from whom
501 (c)3 status as a non-profit organization
Board of directors formation and other organizational details
A half-day retreat to formulate a group-derived plan for organizational development of the Circle of Health
I hope to have representatives attending from the pharmacies, emergency room, hospitals and clinics and other interested persons from our community. Please call Mandy to RSVP at 320-253-5785. I encourage you to bring a colleague.
