Aliso Viejo, CA — The WorkWell Systems Provider Network held its International Provider conference in September, calling it a significant, pacing event in the industry and a major success for all involved.
"The 2006 Partners in Growth Conference provided forward thinking speakers with revolutionary ideas about the way we look at disability, work injury and loss prevention," said Margot Miller, vice president and general manager of the WorkWell Systems Provider Network.
WorkWell, a top provider of physical medicine and workers' compensation solutions, presents the conference for its global network of health professionals including physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), and occupational health professionals representing the most innovative and successful providers of workplace health services.

"The 2006 WorkWell conference delivered an invaluable mix of information on occupational health trends and insights from our peers," said Kristen Cederlind, OT, director of rehabilitation services at Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock, Calif. "As a whole, the information presented raised the bar on what to expect from the industry moving forward."
