Last week, KHCN had the privilege of bringing Kentucky Community Health Center leaders, managers, and supervisors together for Leading for Service Recovery and Patient Experience Excellence trainings with the incredible Barbara Khozam.

Barbara used current staff and patient satisfaction data from KHCN members and challenged us to think differently about every patient interaction. She shared practical strategies for service recovery and reminded us that exceptional patient experiences are built one moment at a time. Her passion, humor, and real-world expertise kept participants engaged from start to finish.

The feedback speaks for itself:
⭐ 99% of participants Strongly Agreed or Agreed they are confident they can apply information form the training at their organizations.
⭐ 97% said Strongly Agreed or Agreed the training was valuable to them, their work, and their organization.

Data shows Community Health Centers provide the best quality of care available, and we are grateful for the opportunity to advance excellence in patient experience and service recovery in Kentucky’s Community Health Centers.

This week, BPHC convened HCCN leaders from across the country in Washington, DC for a dynamic forum focused on connection, collaboration, and forward-thinking innovation. Region IV+ HCCNs were proud to contribute to the conversation, with presentations on data governance, AI and FHIR adoption, and the continued progress of the HCCN National Collaborative. These discussions highlighted both the complexity of our work and the shared commitment to advancing data-driven care across health centers nationwide. Beyond the sessions, the opportunity to exchange ideas, share challenges and successes, and strengthen relationships with peers and federal partners was invaluable. KHCN is grateful to be part of such a dedicated, thoughtful, and innovative community of leaders working to best support the health centers we serve.
