Moldova Physician Hospital Administrators Arrive in
La Crosse May 12
Ten physician hospital administrators from cities throughout Moldova arrive in La Crosse on Wednesday, May 12. Sponsored by World Services, the health leaders are participating in a three week professional exchange focusing on “Hospital Administration”. Moldova has made steady progress in reforming health care. The Community Connections exchange will focus on US strategies to increase efficiency and quality.
The professional program will connect the Moldova participants with hospital and healthcare administration experts from Gundersen Lutheran; Franciscan Skemp-Mayo; La Crosse – Mayo Family Medicine Residency; Scenic Bluffs Community Health Center-Cashton; Mayo Health System in Rochester; University of Minnesota-Rochester; University of Wisconsin-Madison; Veteran’s Memorial Hospital-Waukon; Health Tradition Health Plan; Wisconsin Hospital Association; Wisconsin Legislative Council; La Crosse County Medical Society, and Wisconsin Collaborative for Health Care Quality.
Twelve families will share their home and American way of life with the visitors during the three week program. Delegates, host families, and other volunteers create lifelong memories as they explore the 7 Rivers Region and extend their friendship to our global neighbors. Corporate sponsor for this delegation, Candlewood Suites La Crosse, has donated lodging for the program’s two interpreters.
The Community Connections Program, sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau of Education Growth and Trade/ Office of Education, offers home-stay based practical training opportunities in the U.S. for entrepreneurs, local government officials, legal professionals, non-governmental organization leaders and
