Update Message from PA-AIMH on the Coronavirus (COVID-19):
PA-AIMH continues to monitor concerns about the novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. We want to keep you informed of our current planning regarding regional and statewide events and will continue to do so as the situation unfolds in the weeks ahead. See below for event specific information:
Regional IMH Events:
PA-AIMH hosts regional events in the West, Central, Northeast and Southeast regions of Pennsylvania. Each region will work with its venue partners to determine whether a currently scheduled regional event can continue as planned. PA-AIMH will make every possible effort to use distance technology, where available, to host planned events in an effort to avoid full cancellation.
If we find we need to make any changes to our scheduled programs and events, these changes will be communicated from the staff coordinating the program or event directly to registered patrons and the community at large via email, listserv and social media. Please note that we are an all volunteer organization and that individual email inquiries may not receive immediate responses. We will do our best to respond within two business days.
11th Annual IMH Conference September 10 & 11, 2020:
PA-AIMH and the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center, our conference hotel for the 2020 event, are closely monitoring information from the PA Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control.
We are proceeding with plans for our 11th Annual IMH Conference, September 10 & 11, 2020, and look forward to seeing you there. Should medical guidance impact conference plans, we will notify our membership and the public at large via all available communication pathways and adjust our plans accordingly.
The Kalahari Resort and Convention Center is continuing to host successful conferences and public gatherings daily with enhanced housekeeping procedures that meet and exceed industry best practices and standards. This includes the availability of hand sanitizers throughout public spaces and meeting facilities, per CDC guidance.
PA-AIMH wants all participants to attend our Regional Events and Annual Conference as these are rich opportunities for us to learn, share and connect with one another. If a regional event is postponed or cancelled, PA-AIMH will communicate with paid registrants regarding refund policies and procedures as well as an option for a credit for future event(s).
Registration for the September 2020 conference will be open in early April. We will continue to provide any new information and guidance as the conference dates draw closer.
We urge everyone to follow CDC guidelines and protocols for COVID-19 safety. For the most up to date information about COVID-19, please visit the dedicated knowledge centers at the World Health Organization ( WHO) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) websites, and check with the PA Department of Health. We greatly appreciate your efforts to share up to date health and safety information and practices with staff, families, and children, as you continue your work. We wish you all well and we will continue to share resources as they become available.
