During challenging times such as this, we can become disconnected from our neighbor, the people of God, and even God. This is a weekend for a network of future and current healthcare professionals from across the Northeast to gather in a sacred space to lean into the presence of GOD through worship, the word of God, and prayer; create community with colleagues; be refreshed and renewed in the beautiful setting of Sandy Cove Conference Center; and sent forth as Christ’s ambassadors. Do not miss this opportunity to reconnect with God and the people of God called to bring the hope and healing of Christ to the world through healthcare. Register Today!
Fees cover conference registration, two nights lodging, four meals and one snack.

Sandy Cove retreat center is located on the Northeast side of the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Surrounded by beautiful water, natural landscaping, one of the most serene places in the world. It’s hard to not feel God’s presence there. Sandy Cove Ministries (https://www.sandycove.org/) is well equipped with a bookstore, prayer room, exercise room, indoor pool, delicious meals, and outdoor trails and fields. It is located 60 miles south of Philadelphia. Take I-95 to Exit 100-A (Southbound) or Exit 100 (Northbound) in Maryland, just south of the MD/DE state line. Take Rt. 272 South for 7 miles through North East, Maryland. Sandy Cove will be on the right. Better to leave early to avoid long delays in traffic. Friday dinner is on your own and there are several restaurants between the interstate and North East, Maryland.
