Why We Participate
"Minnesota LEND partners with Gillette Lifetime Specialty Clinic in co-hosting the live broadcast of this conference ...to learn about evidence-based practices in the critical need area of healthcare transition. Gillette staff members were very excited about this opportunity to 'attend' Baylor's conference at their work place. We hope to increase this type of collaborative learning each year for our clinical partners and trainees."
- Rebecca Dosch-Brown, MN LEND Training Coordinator
"Baylor does an excellent job of addressing the task of facilitating adolescent transition as youth learn to navigate health care, post-secondary work or school, and independent living. The mixture of national and local presenters who come from clinical, research, policy, advocacy, and patient perspectives provide a well-rounded presentation of the realities of transition. The annual conference jumps starts our trainees' knowledge and skill development regarding transition. It allows us to introduce a wide array of issues that would take us much longer to do with our own content development. We are grateful that we are able to gain so much with a relatively small investment on our part."
- David Deere, Arkansas Regional LEND Training Director
"WI LEND program works with our state Youth Health Transition Hub to host at least 2 sites in Wisconsin - Madison and Milwaukee. LEND trainees participate as they are able, but are a small part of the audience. We have mostly providers (nurses, SW, MD, other health professionals), our MCH PPC partners and trainees, and just a few families, who come to the broadcast."
-Anne Harris, WI LEND Director
