As we approach the 2026 winter season, I am already looking forward to spring and seeing all of you in person again. Our 13^th Annual SPUC conference will be hosted by Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH on March 10-12. Dr. DeeDee Stewart and the SPUC Program Planning Committee continue to be dedicated and invested in preparing another remarkable educational conference for us in 2027.  They are now accepting abstracts, and link is available on the SPUC website. Please look for the registration link coming soon.  And if you have new ideas for future topics or an area of expertise you are interested in presenting at a future conference, please contact one of the SPUC Program Planning Committee members.

As I reflect on 2026, it is amazing to see all the continued work within SPUC through the many committees, membership and board. Part of this includes our Pediatric Urgent Care Webinars being presented on the first and third Thursdays of the month.  CME and MOC Part II credit is provided for these presentations. The current and archived webinars are available complimentary to all members. If you have any interest in topics to present at an annual SPUC conference or via the monthly webinars, please do not hesitate to contact any of the committee members or members from the Board of Directors.  

SPUC continues to have yearly growth in membership. We will have a new SPUC Board Directors at Large member to announce following the membership vote last month. Please continue to share your SPUC experiences with colleagues across the nation and let us know want more you would like to see as a part of the true north pediatric urgent care presence with SPUC. 

Stay healthy this respiratory season.
