Update on Abstracts for The International Conference

Thanks to all who submitted abstracts to IPFCC for The 6th International Conference. The response was fantastic! The Institute's large panel of nationally and internationally respected experts in patient- and family-centered care—including patients and family leaders, health care administrators, managers, and clinicians—is reviewing the hundreds of abstracts submitted. In early December, those who submitted abstracts that most clearly address the Conference topic criteria will receive invitations to present. RSVPs for these invitations will be expected by the end of December.
