We are pleased to announce our 73rd Annual Pediatrics by the Gulf Pediatrics Conference this year in honor of our esteemed Chair, Dr. C. Joan Richardson.
Dr. Richardson has been a fixture of the Pediatrics Department for almost 50 years and has made countless contributions to our institution, its trainees, faculty, and staff who have had the honor of working with her. We are excited to celebrate this incredible milestone!
