Forward36th Annual Community and School Health Pediatric Conference/Telephone Triage
Our nation continues to face increasingly complex issues that are impacting the health and well-being of children and families. It is essential that healthcare providers are aware of the latest research and evidence-based practice to provide optimal care. This conference will emphasize an integrated approach to care among family, community, and healthcare teams through case-based presentations, thought-provoking discussions, and an optional afternoon session focused on mental health training.
