Summer 2011 is just getting underway, but it’s time to mark calendars and reserve dates to attend the 2012 Military Health System Conference. Next year’s MHS Conference runs from Jan. 30 - Feb. 2, 2012 at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center at National Harbor, Md.

Each year, the Military Health System conference promotes professionalism, enhances partnerships within, and outside the federal sector, and concentrates on ways to best serve the preventive and healthcare needs of its diverse beneficiary population. The conference includes an extensive exhibit hall featuring agency and commercial exhibitors whose products and programs are aligned with the MHS mission.

Some 4,000 military and civilian medical personnel from the MHS attended the 2011 conference.
