SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS – The Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network, comprised of 53 member hospitals, recently hosted its 2015 Vendor Fair for hospital ancillary department leadership on Wednesday, August 19, 2015 at The Crowne Plaza, Springfield, IL. More than 120 people were in attendance, with 60 vendors from across the nation exhibiting.
“ICAHN invites businesses serving healthcare and who market products and services to critical access hospitals to this event including Premier Specialty Network, who served as a Corporate Partner,” said Stephanie Cartwright, ICAHN Communications and Media Specialist.
“PSN’s goal of improving access to healthcare by partnering with rural institutions focused on expanding their specialty services was in direct correlation with the goals of our event. It was our hope that PSN and all the other participating vendors gained visibility and corporate exposure among hospital leaders from throughout the state.”
The theme of the event was “Creating a Culture of Teamwork: Be Your Community’s Hospital of Choice,” which encouraged the message of positive-driven leadership, team-building, networking, and exchange of best practices.
