Patients as Partners was one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended! The conference was perfectly organized and executed – I loved the interactive sessions, the many networking opportunities, the diverse speakers and relevant content, Mandy’s moving ​​​​​​​and energizing keynote, the fundraising opportunity for the Ronald McDonald House, and the passionate, supportive atmosphere. It was very memorable, and I have so much to take back for my team.
