COVID Health and Safety Protocol

We want our guests to feel comfortable and protected while at our event.   We recommend vaccination, masking, social distancing in crowded situations but the final level of precautions are left up to the individual. To this end we have again situated vendor tables farther apart than in the past and will make seating at least 6 feet apart available for those people who prefer. 


Purpose

The annual conference is designed to provide continuing education for health care professionals from Missouri and Illinois.  It provides the most current information for disease intervention, detection, prevention, control and preparedness pertaining to infectious disease in order to provide optimal healthcare to our patients and to our community.
