Pediatric Care Coordination:
Community of Practice
Greetings,
Hello to all of our members of the Pediatric Care Coordination: Community of Practice! We hope this message finds you well as the summer season is well underway.
We are grateful to have connected in person with some of you during our recent statewide Regional Meetings. It was wonderful to see you out in the community and we hope the meetings provided an opportunity for you to share experiences, network, and collaborate. Please see the below photo collage highlighting the six regional meetings across the state of Minnesota.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out the feedback form from the Regional Meetings. We received wonderful and positive feedback and it will help to shape future events of the Community of Practice. A few highlights from attendees include: “Finding all the resources from all the wonderful people that I met” and “Appreciated the mix of networking and presentation. And the Humor!!!”
Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you for the next webinar coming September 2023!
All our best,
Wendy Berghorst and the ACET team

Join Connie Montgomery and Risa Tolbert, co-authors of You’re not just a number: Putting care back into healthcare as they share practical ideas and techniques to create and strengthen patient-provider partnerships. As Black women with histories in the healthcare profession, Montgomery and Tolbert have lived experiences as patients, caregivers, and healthcare practitioners, and bring this triple-layered vantage point to health services. Connie Montgomery is also an alum of the Camden Coalition’s National Consumer Scholar program.
Attendees will listen in on role playing exercises that show different ways that providers gather patients’ medical and social history. Presenters will explain how each scenario could have been different, and will demonstrate the distinction between better and best practices. This webinar emphasizes the importance of giving patients/consumers the opportunity to drive the care process while providers use their skill set to support and facilitate that care.
