"We've had iCARE Successes with Registration/Wait time improvements by: Adding a camera in the radiology waiting department, registration gals push a button to notify radiology of a registered patient, a doorbell within the radiology department waiting area for patients to push, and did a time study to see where the process was broken. Now we use a card system for patients that leave the clinic to go to lab or radiology." - Melissa Memorial Hospital

"Congratulations on an awesome and brilliantly organized conference. We'll be here next year!"

Designing Inclusive Hiring Practices Data from CRHC’s environmental scan (to be released early 2023), shows that current healthcare professionals believe, an inclusive and diverse recruitment team is the most important factor in recruitment that influences retention.

"Thanks for the work you put into this year's conference.  It was extremely informative - with great discussions! Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of the Forum."

"Thanks to conference sponsors and exhibitors, CRHC is able to present excellent speakers and sessions.  Without you, we would not be able to provide such high quality programming!"

“I would recommend the Colorado Rural Health Center’s Colorado Provider Recruitment service without reservation or hesitation to any organization in the state looking to add a provider to their staff. The staff is excellent and very easy to work with and provide excellent customer service. They deliver high caliber providers, who are really interested in working within your community, not just resumes of providers who want to work in Colorado. They provide, by far, the best recruiting value based on the results that we’ve seen and the resources we’ve invested!”
