Building eval training into regional meetings in lieu of othe rmeetings

Breakout groups

Connecting is easier in small groups no matter what the topic is

2023-12-11 17:38:44 UTC

Consider a metro coordinator in person meeting

2023-12-11 17:39:03 UTC

I think there's a lot of benefit to us coming together in person. Honestly, less content or specific different connection topics and more high level topics or a focus on one topic when we meet could be nice.

2023-12-11 17:39:05 UTC

Include more time for program sharing

area specific network meet up

2023-12-11 17:39:22 UTC

Highlight at least one success story in detail.

Strategies that other counties are using to showcase their outcomes

2023-12-11 17:40:40 UTC

Group meeting topics so it is easier for people to come in and out based on topic

I would love to see MDH supporting MN Medicaid waiver to address health-related social needs of FQHCs. How could MDH support us in moving towards bigger more stable funding that addresses SDoH?

i'd prefer more content specific focused meetings

2023-12-11 17:41:31 UTC

Need more meetings by strategy area. Better for in-depth information and conversation.

2023-12-11 17:42:25 UTC

Would like to learn what others are doing for their LLE and how it is going.

2023-12-11 17:43:15 UTC

Strategies that other counties are using to showcase their outcomes

2023-12-11 17:43:52 UTC

I would love to see more on environmental sustainability added to strategies/context areas in the next round of SHIP

2023-12-11 17:44:00 UTC

Maybe there can be a SHIP 101 academy for new folks. I've been working on SHIP for 10 years and the info for new staff doesn't seem relevant and worth my time
