Most importantly, the critical steps that trauma and addiction facilities need to take in order to maximize success and patient outcomes will be shared. Best practices from related healthcare initiatives will be shared along with lessons learned to help facilities avoid painful and expensive mistakes. The same investments made to serve patients can also be used to serve facility professional and support staff fitness and wellness needs too.
