Greetings!  
 
 

The 2nd Annual OPR Business Forum was held Friday, May 6, 2011 at the Inn at St. Johns in Plymouth, MI. The title of this year's Forum was "National Dialogue on Quality Cancer Care" with the objective focusing on the need to maintain and improve quality care while controlling costs and embracing current trends.  The event was a great success and those who attended have told us that they received valuable information that will enable them to improve the quality of care provided in their practices.
