Prevention Pillar
With renewed energy and more faces at the table, the Prevention Pillar is taking on the ever important task of data collection. We seek and we shall find.
Data is vital for identifying needs and gaps in our community. Moreover, data show us the successes that work and items that still need improvement.
Join us on this exploration of data. Prevention Pillar meetings are the fourth Tuesday of every month at Waukesha Memorial Hospital,
725 American Ave., Waukesha
Next meeting for Prevention Pillar: Tuesday, July 25, 2017 at 8:30am-10:00am. Email Adam Kindred for more information.
