Join us for a one-hour webinar featuring three Wisconsin HealthPartners critical access hospitals—Westfields, Amery and Hudson—as they share their 2025 WHA Quality Award-winning strategies for optimizing swing bed utilization.

Topics include:
- Enhancing bed availability in critical access hospitals
- Reducing avoidable days at tertiary care facilities
- Shortening patient wait times for admission
- Gaining a positive operating margin for critical access hospitals to better serve their communities
- And more!
