We will have a New England Region WOC Nurses Society Business meeting on Sunday, June 23rd, 2019 from 7:00 am to 9:00 am with a breakfast buffet. Please join us if you are there.
This year, the New England Region Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Society will have a table/booth in the exhibitor vendor hall. This is a first for our region.
