His favorite session discussed the use of technology in the community health system. Dunn found several of the breakout sessions helpful. The over-arching theme was that we all have to work together, plan together. Healthcare is more than medical care. We're talking about the health of the community, which is far beyond how many people have diabetes, how many people have hypertension.
Partnerships really strengthen the community health system.
Dunn also notes that Decatur has excellent health resources. Decatur is large enough that we can support ancillary services, yet small enough that the health organizations know one another. This enables our community to do some innovative things that other communities can't because they're either too big, or too little.
