The SIH Memorial Hospital Carbondale Trauma Department proudly presents
Trauma & Critical Care Symposium 2025
This year’s speakers cover wide-ranging traumas, treatment options and best practices for positive patient outcomes. The event will be held at Walker’s Bluff Casino & Resort, over two days. Each day includes presentations focusing on Cardiovascular services, Neurosciences, Trauma, and Emergency Medical Services.
Instead of a registration fee, we are asking all attendees to donate a toy to stuff the ambulance for Toys for Tots. Bring a donation and make a kid's day this holiday season.
Make sure you complete all the necessary registration steps and look for a confirmation email with parking and hotel information.
