Dallas, TX US
May 29, 2026 to May 30, 2026

The Spina Bifida Association of America sponsors an annual Clinical Care Partners Conference.

The Spina Bifida Clinical Care Meeting brings together clinicians and care teams (including physicians, APP’s, Nurses, Social workers, OT/PTs, Psychologists, and nurse aids) as well as patient advocates from across the country who share one goal: improving the lives of people living with Spina Bifida.
