CARE Network News & Updates

March 2025

Reminder: Annual Training Information


The Annual CARE Network Training will be held on Monday, May 5th for both ongoing and new providers and continue on Tuesday, May 6th, for new providers. The training will be held in Denver this year on the Anschutz Medical Campus where The Kempe Center is located. This will allow you to tour the Center and may also allow for additional experts to participate in providing the training. 

 

For those of you who live outside the immediate Denver Metro area, we are reserving rooms at The Benson Hotel, a boutique hotel, that is only a couple of blocks from where the training will be held on campus. There will be a social event at The Benson on Sunday, May 4th, with appetizers and non-alcoholic drinks provided (the hotel does have a bar accessible). Breakfast, morning snacks, lunches and afternoon snacks, along with beverages, will be provided during the training and catered by Cultivate Kitchen. A variety of delicious food will be available, and to meet most diets, but please let us know if you have any restrictive dietary needs. 


IMPORTANT NOTES: 

If you are more than four hours away from the Denver area we will reach out to you to see if you would like us to arrange, and pay for, a flight. If you are unable to attend the training this year, please let us know in advance so we may plan accordingly concerning accommodations and food/beverages.
