From November 22-26, Children's Healthcare Canada is hosting its annual conference. This event brings together children's health advocates, providers, leadership, and patient and family partners to discuss challenges and emerging priorities. As a supporter of this conference, HIROC encourages its Subscribers and partners to be a part of the conversation.

On October 21, as a bonus event to the 2021 HIROC Conference, Subscribers have the opportunity to attend a virtual tour of the FM Global Research Campus, located in West Glocester, Rhode Island, USA.

Subscribers can sign-up for the virtual tour while registering for the HIROC Conference. Both the conference and FM Global event are complimentary and exclusively for HIROC Subscribers.   

An essential component of our relentless commitment to serving Subscribers is ensuring you are always equipped with the latest information in safety and risk mitigation – and that sometimes includes going beyond healthcare facilities.
