Our time in Orlando is quickly approaching and we are looking forward to everyone that will join us this year.

We are excited announce that 2019 Children’s Hospitals Week CDO attendees have been invited to participate in Corporate Partner receptions to help steward the leaders of our top partners. Your expertise and ability to articulate the local impact the dollars raised by each of these partners is invaluable for these leaders, from the C-suite to the day-to-day, to understand. We suggest coming prepared with a few talking points of your own such as the following:

• Estimated number of kids you served in 2018
• Estimated uncompensated care total for 2018
• Current procedures that began because of specific partner’s support – What wasn’t happening that is now happening because of the funds they’ve raised?
• A story you could share that succinctly illustrates greater impact for more kids locally

We thank you in advance for representing all hospitals as you engage with these leaders. In the Summit pre-read materials, you will receive contact names and partner specific talking points that can be incorporated into your conversations as needed.  Listed below are the corporate partners receptions that will be held:

CO-OP
Dairy Queen
IHOP
Log A Load
Love’s Travel Stops
Marriott Vacations Worldwide
Panda Express
Speedway
Walmart & Sam’s Club
