Cindy Brumbarger, M.Ed., BSN, Chief Branding & Engagement Officer HealthNet Foundation Executive Director shares their strategies on how they are supporting Hoosiers in their community.

Focus on Quality is a webinar series where Indiana's community health centers work collectively to address the needs of the populations they serve every day. Every month, Focus on Quality will highlight a specific population and feature content experts and identified tools, along with peer best practice sharing, to improve the health and well-being of that population. Centers are encouraged to take these tools and best practices and implement them in their centers for quality improvement purposes. May's focus will be on depression remission. Devon Jones from HealthLinc will be presenting on their best practices for this measure and caring for patients with depression.
