Annual Global Partnership for Telehealth Conference

On behalf of the charitable, nonprofit, Global Partnership for Telehealth and the Southeastern Telehealth Resource Center, we would like to take this opportunity to formally thank you for participating in what we hope was a meaningful and delightful event. The setting, the expert & engaging speakers, the generous sponsors, the hospitable resort staff,  and of course, the sophisticated attendees made the 2019 Conference the most memorable of the last 10 years of GPT Conferences!

The setting for this year’s conference took all of us by surprise!  The Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club, located inside the Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park in rural Crisp County, provided a beautiful and tranquil setting that enabled everyone to relax and enjoy every moment of being away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The breath-taking lake views and magical sunsets laid the foundation for one of GPT’s most successful conferences.

The pre-conference, 8-hour School-based Telehealth Workshop held on March 20th consisted of 75 attendees representing four states, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. Many left inspired to launch school telehealth clinics or motivated to take existing programs to the next level.

Over 150 attendees participated in the March 21st  & 22nd  main conference that organically took on a patriotic theme from the location to the Keynote Speaker, LTC (R) Daniel R. Brewer providing a moving presentation, “A Soldier’s Perspective on Healthcare,” to the presence of the Veterans Administration (VA) promoting telehealth initiatives for veterans and a break-out session by VA Physician, Dr. April Maa, on Technology-based Eye Care Services.

We are pleased with this year’s Poster Presentations!  Thanks to the poster presenters and thanks to those who voted for your favorite poster. All entries were winners deserving a standing ovation for creating and submitting a poster then stepping up to present their projects! Stay tuned for the 2020 Poster Topic and plan to highlight your good telehealth work in this eloquent way!

We are not only committed to providing a conference that meets the needs of the attendees but the needs of our speakers and supporters. Your comments as to how we can better serve you and improve next year’s event are welcome & valuable. Thank you again for your help in making the conference informative and beneficial for all! We look forward to another engaging and successful summit next year and it appears that “by popular vote,” we will be going back to the lake in 2020!
