COVID-19 UPDATE FROM TMA

For information about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, please visit TMA’s COVID-19 Resource Center.

For questions or concerns, please contact the TMA Knowledge Center at (800) 880-7955 or knowledge@texmed.org.

After careful consideration of the evolving COVID-19 situation in Texas, with input from local and state health officials and TMA’s Coronavirus Task Force, the Texas Medical Association Board of Trustees has determined that TexMed 2020 will not take place in Fort Worth on May 1-2. (Be sure to cancel your housing or travel arrangements.) The health and safety of our members is paramount as you are on the front lines of the fight to control the spread of the virus and treat infected patients.

However, the TMA House of Delegates will convene in a virtual format. Delegates, alternates, and county medical society staff can expect additional information over the coming weeks. Please keep May 1 and May 2 open on your calendars.

You do not need to cancel your registration for TexMed 2020. However, you will need to cancel any travel or housing arrangements you have made. If you have a hotel reservation at the Omni Fort Worth or the Sheraton Fort Worth, you can reach out to the hotel directly to cancel your reservation. You also can cancel your reservation online via the TexMed Housing and Travel page.

For information about the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, please visit TMA’s COVID-19 Resource Center.
