Advance -- HOUSTON-While cowboys at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show wrestled with bucking broncos, corralled cattle, and roped steers, the members of the Health Professions Network (HPN) were wrestling with workforce issues, riding herd on accreditation, and trying to rope in public awareness of the allied health profession. Putting aside their individual agendas, the leaders of health care societies, educational institutions, credentialing bodies and government agencies met here at the Hilton Americas Hotel to collaborate on allied health care initiatives.
