It's a NEW Look!
We've updated the Connections Member Update with a new look and renamed it the Network News. The new format uses an article layout with alternating background colors for cleaner lines and less unused space. Each issue will include a column along the right-hand side that we'll use to put the Spotlight on opportunities, events, and successes. We hope you like the new look!

In the Spotlight 
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
The Great Plains Quality Innovation Network (GPQIN) is currently partnering with some Connections health centers to help implement a process designed to increase colorectal cancer screenings and reduce the incidence of colon cancer. The National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable recently awarded GPQIN with the 2017 80% by 2018 National Achievement Honoree Award in recognition of their efforts to reduce colon cancer in the region.
