Here is what attendees had to say about the One Community Conference:

“I’m not sure I can name just one thing that I learned and stood out to me as there was so many different things that intrigued me. I think more so than anything I connected with so many awesome people that can help in supporting our patients.”

“Very great conference, very organized and good resources and attendance. My first conference for clinical/non-clinical and I enjoyed every minute of it, and I will be back.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. I learned a lot and was able to connect (in person) with other great people!”

“So much food for thought. I was able to see possibilities. Became more aware of recovery focused programs already in place across the state. Everything about this experience was excellent, it was organized so very well, and the venue was immaculate!”
