ForwardNational Acute Care for Elders (ACE) Conference 2024
The National Acute Care for Elders (ACE) Virtual Conference trains and educates healthcare professionals across Advocate Health, as well as multiple other health systems across the country and beyond. We will continue to seize the opportunity to use technology and reach more healthcare workers than ever before by offering this conference virtually. By bringing in national speakers from around the world, this conference helps to implement best-practice models of care in our own communities and draws national attention towards the efforts to improve care for vulnerable, older adults.
