Join a select group of healthcare leaders at the inaugural Safe Care “Town Hall” Forum, Thursday, March 10 from Noon – 2:00pm at Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL at the Stritch School of Medicine.


Be part of this live town hall event where Chicago area healthcare leaders will gather to share ideas and strategies on how to inspire healthcare workers to improve hand hygiene techniques. We will be filming on site at Loyola University Medical Center's Tobin Hall, so we encourage you to bring your ideas, questions and successes to share amongst your peers.

Chassin, MD, FACP, MPP, MPH, president of The Joint Commission, will focus on improving patient safety and satisfaction through their discussions on:
