Reinventing Customer Service in Healthcare Madison Event Recap

The ACHE-WI Face-to-Face Madison Event brought together a group to discuss Reinventing Customer Service in Healthcare: Lessons Learned from the Best. Attendees learned the strategies that local healthcare leaders have used to improve internal and external customer service.
