SCCT2025 Health Policy

The health and safety of our communities, audiences, and families is important to SCCT. COVID-19 resulted in cancellation of our 2020 and 2021 meetings, and we are pleased to offer an in-person meeting to those who feel comfortable meeting in person again. SCCT is committed to compliance with all local and federal guidance with respect to meetings including CDC guidance. We also acknowledge that our members and attendees largely work in healthcare, where often more specific guidance may be applicable to any individual. At the time of this policy update in June 2022, we do not plan to verify your compliance with local (prior) guidance, but we do recommend that you follow the advice of relevant authorities—we thus encourage vaccines as medically directed, and masking as per your judgment, especially in situations where you cannot avoid prolonged close contact. As always, you should not attend the annual meeting if you are actively ill or contagious with an infectious disease (including COVID-19).

Should you contract COVID-19 or feel ill approaching the event, please contact info@scct.org. We will work with you to accommodate your needs.

Your data privacy and security are important to us. When you register for this event, SCCT will process your data in accordance with our legitimate interests for hosting an educational event and for being a community-based organization.
