Healthcare and community service professionals from across North Dakota will gather on May 23, 2019, for Quality Health Associates of North Dakota’s annual Quality Forum. The Forum will be held in four locations—Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot— to accommodate busy schedules and lessen travel costs and will feature a modified format of rapid-fire sessions that will extract key interventions followed by facilitated discussions to help participants leave in action.
