Happy Pride Month from Specialty Networks!

That is a wrap on the Specialty Networks Spring 2024 National Urology Conference in Tampa, FL!

Several thought leaders from across the country engaged in many thought-provoking discussions, exchanged ideas, and shared the latest in clinical practices and administration. To top it off, attendees embraced the ‘Olympics’ theme this year and did not disappoint.
