I want to officially thank the LearnTelehealth community for making our first annual South Central Telehealth Forum a huge success! The attendance and enthusiasm exceeded our projections. At final check there were 200 total attendees! Everywhere I looked people were networking, learning, listening and sharing experiences. As the director of the program, it was a beautiful sight.

The pre-conference workshops were extremely popular with beginners and experts alike.

The morning keynotes were excellent. Dr. Lowery, Dr. Henderson and Dr. Polaha each brought a unique view and approach to telehealth.

The afternoon sessions gave attendees a chance to delve deeper into specific programs. Attendees learned from the successes of other programs. The presentations gave concrete advice on how to build sustainable programs.
