The 50th Annual Samuel D Plotkin 2021 Cardiovascular Symposium
Due to recent updates to Baystate Covid-19 guidelines, specifically the suspension of employee travel for business purposes (this includes any and all travel for any professional or work purpose or any travel sponsored or funded by BH), the live portion of the Plotkin Symposium has been cancelled and will be moved to a virtual only platform. If you are unable to attend virtually, we will be offering a recorded session at a later date.
