Special Town Halls
Pediatric Health Network collaborates with experts at Children’s National Hospital and across the region to bring you these Special Town Halls. These webinars bring up-to-date information about evolving or urgent health care trends and events, emerging pathogens, or matters of special interest to our community. We are a learning community, now more than ever. These Special Town Hall sessions provide an opportunity to hear from the experts and exchange information with each other. If you have topics you would like to bring for discussion, please contact us at PHN@childrensnational.org.
