The MVC Coordinating Center wishes to express our deep appreciation for the 31 dedicated healthcare professionals who volunteered to present at MVC’s third and fourth quarter 2025 virtual workgroups, fall collaborative-wide meeting, and the Michigan Cardiac Rehabilitation network (MiCR) fall meeting. We know that MVC’s members and partners have many demands on their time from within their own organizations and beyond. Nonetheless, these 31 guest speakers shared their data, innovative approaches, best practices, and lessons learned with MVC members to support our shared goals of peer learning and high-value care delivery for all Michigan patients. We celebrate you for contributing in this important way, some at multiple events. You DO make a difference!
