There was a great turnout for the 2nd Caring Friends Luncheon hosted by the Winn Community Health Center. This outreach program is for the patients who are apart of the Chronic Care Management Program. This opportunity for patients with chronic illnesses, will be hosted every three months.

A Patient Care Coordination Team was put in to place, to improve the overall clinical care and for the management of chronic disease conditions. This team offers coaching telephone calls for patients with a chronic illness. These luncheons are a chance to meet face to face with the voices that are behind phone helping patients along their journey. They also offer handouts for patient’s information purposes and special speakers.
