Southwest Health is honored to share a recent education opportunity. On Thursday, March 13, the entire Southwest Health medical team participated in collaboration with David Farley, MD, an esteemed retired surgical doctor who spent his career treating patients at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, in a formal Grand Rounds Session.

This event is a testament to Southwest Health’s unwavering dedication to advancing clinical excellence and enhancing patient care through professional development and collaboration.

Grand Rounds serve as a basis of medical education, offering healthcare professionals a critical platform to engage in scholarly discourse, share clinical insights, and explore complex case studies. These sessions are instrumental in continuing Southwest Health’s culture of reflection and continuous learning, which are vital components of maintaining high standards of patient safety and care quality.

“I have had the privilege of working at Southwest Health for over nine years, witnessing firsthand the remarkable growth of our clinical staff, which has expanded five-fold during my time in Platteville. As our healthcare community has grown, the opportunities for personal interaction have become less frequent.” Says Dr. Anna Svircev, Southwest Health Family Medicine Provider “Grand rounds serve as a valuable platform to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, strengthening relationships among physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, administrators, students, and other healthcare professionals. Additionally, these sessions promote professional development, offering important growth opportunities that can be especially impactful in smaller, rural settings.”

Grand Rounds encompassed a series of structured presentations, in-depth analyses, and collaborative discussions, all aimed at promoting best practices and elevating the standard of care provided to the community.
