Dallas
2018 Annual Conference
The IHFDA 2018 conference turned out to be a huge success. Attendees were able to listen to some of the true experts in the field of health facility diversion present some of the most pressing issues currently being faced by our members. In addition, networking with other professionals in their field, along with a strong exhibitor field made for a formable conference for all. Positive comments were abundant as the IHFDA board also listened to how we can make a great conference even better in 2019 in Orlando.
Thanks to all who attended in 2018, hope to see all of you in Orlando in 2019.
