Nurse’s Day Luncheon Symposium
Thank you for your interest in Nurse’s Day 2020. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the symposium at this time. The health and safety of our attendees and the community is our top priority.
Per the CDC’s recommendations that suggest limiting social activity, including large groups and social distancing for the next several weeks, we are doing our due diligence and made the difficult decision to cancel the symposium that was scheduled for May 6th. Please plan to attend Nurse’s Day 2021 when the event will be back, and better than ever.
Thank you for your understanding, please reach out if you have any questions.
