Earlier this month members of the Yee Hong Culture Change Coalition (CCC) gathered for their January meeting, which also marked the 1 year anniversary of the Coalition's creation.

A great deal has happened over the last year. The group has brought in a number of new faces from the staff at Yee Hong and is working to increase the number of family partners in care who participate in the CCC.  The group is nearing the end of the first, critical 'Dawning' phase of the Appreciative Inquiry process.

The members of the Huron County CCC are becoming experts at data analysis!  At their January meeting, the group worked together to analyse more of the data that emerged from the data collection phase of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) led culture change process. 

Working together, the group looked at data collected from staff at various organizations devoted to home care for persons living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias in Huron County.
