Coronavirus: Resources for Members & Impact on Chapter Events
We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak in Georgia and the US and as a Chapter are making adjustments to ensure the safety of our members, partners, staff and community at large. We are committed to following all recommendations from the CDC and state and local public health departments and will be modifying and postponing events as necessary. The Georgia Pediatric Practice Manager and Nurses meeting scheduled to be held on May 15 has been postponed to the Fall.
The Chapter has made the unfortunate decision to cancel Pediatrics By the Sea, which was to be held on June 17-20, 2020, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Amelia Island, Fla. If you have already registered as an attendee for PBS 2020, you will be receiving information on your hotel reservations and the refund process.
The Chapter will be limiting in person meetings and providing a call-in or webinar option for all meetings. All Chapter staff are working remotely in the coming weeks, so we ask for your patience in returning calls. Email is the best way to reach the staff.
For questions regarding our response to COVID-19, contact Noreen Dahill at ndahill@gaaap.org.
For questions regarding telehealth, contact Fozia Eskew at feskew@gaaap.org.
