The health and welfare of our membership and their guests at our meetings is our priority. Therefore, the CCHPS March Technical Meeting has been postponed, based on rapidly developing and increasing COVID-19 health risks. We will inform you of plans to reschedule at a later date. Thank you, and stay safe.
