23rd Annual Pediatric Conference

Join us for CoxHealth's 23rd Annual Pediatric Conference. We will be in-person at the Oasis Hotel and Convention Center in Springfield, MO after two years of being virtual. We are excited to be able to connect with all of you again. This educational event is designed for all health care professionals who work with children and their families. Topics include, among others:

• Lasting effects of critical illness in childhood
• Child abuse
• Diversity, equality and inclusion in a health care setting
• Bullying
• and many more

We will have speakers from the Dream Center and Burrell Health as community resources for the pediatric population and their families.

We also want to take this opportunity to give back to our community. Please help us to stuff backpacks with necessary school supplies for kids in need. We would love to see items donated such as folders, backpacks, pencil cases, ear buds, notebooks, crayons, color pencils, erasers, markers, dry erase markers, hand sanitizer - any and all supplies are welcome. Thanks for helping us make this event great! Bring school supplies and be entered to win prizes!
