Families spoke and we listened! Families responding to our recent survey indicated they were more likely to be able to attend a virtual event so we are shifting our 2023 Health Summit to ONLINE ONLY to make the event more accessible to more families, speakers, and stakeholders from throughout the state. We look forward to seeing you VIRTUALLY at our annual Health Summit in March 2023!
