The MVC Coordinating Center wishes to express its heartfelt appreciation for the 39 generous healthcare professionals who stepped forward to present during MVC’s first and second quarter virtual workgroups, spring collaborative-wide meeting, and Michigan Cardiac Rehabilitation network (MiCR) virtual forums on telehealth rehabilitation. The MVC Coordinating Center would not be able to deliver the variety of high-quality educational opportunities without the contribution of these dedicated volunteer presenters. We know that MVC’s members and partners have many demands on their time from within their own organizations and beyond. Nonetheless, these 39 guest speakers shared their data, innovative approaches, best practices, and insights to support our shared goals of peer learning and high-value care delivery for Michigan patients. We appreciate you contributing in this important way. You DO make a difference!
