Stay tuned for a C4 Center Newsletter supplement that will include information on C4 member and affiliate work being presented at upcoming national conferences, such as Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) and American Diabetes Association (ADA). We are doing this to showcase the work of our members and affiliates, and give everyone the chance to network with other researchers who are working in chronic condition care.

If you are presenting at an upcoming spring or summer 2024 conference, please email the title and conference name to complexcaring@pitt.edu.
