Dear Colleague,

We are gearing up for AHRQ’s third annual conference at one of the most exciting times in health care in recent memory.

The current environment could be the best opportunity we’ve had in years to make lasting changes that will have a transformational impact on the quality of care in the United States.

As a result, I am pleased to invite you to attend the conference "Research to Reform: Achieving Health System Change," September 13-16, 2009, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Convention Center, in Bethesda, Maryland.

To hear more about the conference, please click “play” and after you’ve listened to all of the details, go to “Register Now!” to reserve your space.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in one of the premier events of the year for exploring the growing number of opportunities for improving the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care in our great nation!

I look forward to your participation.

Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D.
Director, AHRQ
