We welcome Tom O'Day from Husch Blackwell as December's featured WisHHRA webinar presenter. This month's webnar will discuss how violence in the workplace presents a growing and significant challenge to healthcare employers, patients, providers and staff.

In this presentation, Husch Blackwell attorneys and compliance managers from M3 Insurance will offer multi-disciplinary perspectives on the strategies for mitigating the risk of violence from both inside and outside the facility walls, including but not limited to collaboration between healthcare facilities and law enforcement.
