CANCELED

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, SullivanCotter has decided to cancel the upcoming 2020 National APP Advisory Council Meeting in Atlanta. A number of health care organizations have imposed restrictions on non-essential travel extending beyond the April 16 and 17 event dates.  We hope our decision to cancel next month’s event will help to ensure that as many NAAC members as possible will be able to participate at a future date. We are currently watching what is going on across the country and developing contingency plans. We will be in touch as consider next steps.
