The Top 10 CHI Presentations of 2012

Here at CHI we love to talk about health policy. And this year we got to do that a lot. We gave nine webinars, had seven CHI/AHEC discussions at the Anschutz medical campus, prepared 13 presentations for our Hot Issues in Health Care legislative conference, and gave presentations to numerous other groups – from foundations and health care organizations to the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce Health Care Committee and The Tuesday Morning Class.
