Fall Workshop, October 2021
After over a year of virtual meetings and repeatedly canceled workshop dates, we were finally able to pull off an in person seminar, thanks to the support of St. Joseph Hospital and our attendees committing to following COVID guidelines. Over 50 RNs and CSTs attended and 17 vendors sponsored the event, which made it a huge chapter fundraising success. Thank you to all who joined the seminar.
