AHA22 COVID-19 Update
We hope that by fall vaccinations will be widely available and it will be safe to travel to New Orleans for the annual meeting in January. The situation is changing rapidly as federal, state, and local authorities work to facilitate vaccine distribution. We are planning to hold an in-person meeting and are working with the hotels and others on how to meet safely. We will regularly update members via our website as our plans evolve.
