Welcome to the Utah Association for Healthcare Quality!

A Message from the UAHQ 2024 President Adrianne Brown

Welcome to the UAHQ!

The Utah Association for Healthcare Quality aims to inspire, educate, and empower healthcare quality professionals through networking, education, and communication. I’ve been a member of the UAHQ since 2015 and joined the board in 2018. I’m honored and excited to be the 2024 President of UAHQ. Serving on the board has given me the opportunity to interface with new people, expand my knowledge, and strengthen my passion for healthcare quality. The UAHQ board is working hard to create a year full of education, networking and fun!  

This year as UAHQ President, I have three main objectives:

• Offer networking opportunities and encourage collaboration. I’m always inspired by the great work of healthcare quality professionals in Utah. Our healthcare community is full of innovative professionals. Networking and sharing our knowledge, best practices and lessons learned is invaluable. The challenges we face within our individual organizations are oftentimes unique. However, when we come together to support, brainstorm, and learn from each other, that is the catalyst for change – when healthcare quality is truly improved. Collectively, we can advance healthcare quality in Utah.
• Provide educational opportunities. My hope is that you will find value in the educational offerings of this organization and you’re able to take the knowledge learned and implement it in your role as a healthcare quality professional. We’re going to be offering events in 2024 to inform and inspire you.
• Increase our membership. There is a wide variety of healthcare quality professionals, many of whom aren’t represented within our membership. We hope to expand our membership and welcome in all types of healthcare quality professionals. Please spread the word about UAHQ and encourage your colleagues to join.

My challenge to each of you is to actively participate in UAHQ. Please come to the annual conference in the fall; participate in our networking events, and most importantly, invite a colleague or a friend to join UAHQ with you.  We are stronger together and aim to be recognized as THE voice for Healthcare Quality in Utah.  

We want to hear from you! If you have an idea, feedback, or want to present at one of our educational events, please reach out to me at [email protected]. As your association president, I am here to support you. 

Here’s to a year of growing and learning!
