T.J. Samson Community Hospital has made the difficult decision to cancel the T.J. Samson Women’s Conference that was scheduled for Thursday, October 28, 2021. The recent surge in COVID-19 cases makes an in-person event of this size impractical. T.J. Samson Community Hospital will be issuing a full refund to everyone that submitted payment for pre-registration and booth space.  Please allow several weeks to receive your refund in the mail. It is our hope that we can hold this popular event sometime in 2022.
