Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses (AAHFN), I invite you to join us for the 8th Annual Conference, to be held June 28 to 30, 2012. This year’s meeting is located in exciting Chicago, Illinois at the beautiful Sheraton Chicago Hotel.
The theme of this year’s program is “Soaring to New Heights” and along those lines, the Annual Conference Committee has worked extremely hard to raise the bar by creating a program to address your educational needs. However, this year there are a few surprises for you, including:
- A Cardiovascular Pharmacology Pre-Conference Workshop
- Expansion of the program to three full days
- Two debates on clinically pertinent topics: Daily weights and sodium restriction
- “Power Hour” sessions with focused content on atrial fibrillation and clinical transformation
- “Sweet Beginnings” – a networking event for new members and new attendees and an opportunity to meet with the Board and other AAHFN volunteers
As always, you can expect stellar presentations by physician and nursing experts from around the U.S. Their information and experience will be informative and stimulating, sending you home eager to share your new knowledge with your peers, colleagues, and patients.
As in the past, our corporate industry sponsors will be available at pre-conference symposia, at breakfast sessions and in the Exhibit Hall. They will be able to provide you with the latest information on products, services or processes that are essential in your clinical environment. Without their support of AAHFN and of the role of heart failure nurses, this meeting would simply not be possible. Be sure to drop by and thank them!
The second offering of the Heart Failure Nurse Certification Exam will take place on Sunday, July 1 from 8-10 am. Space is limited, so remember to register early. We want to add your name to our list of CHFNs!
This will be the best meeting yet! Please make every effort to “Soar to New Heights” with us in Chicago! I look forward to seeing you there.
