We're excited to announce that next year's
OR Excellence will take place at the beauti-
ful Hyatt Regency Coconut Bay resort in
sunny Bonita Springs, Fla. We're taking
over the entire hotel, so everyone you
meet will be part of the ORX family. The
gathering will begin 2 days after
Columbus Day, so turn the long weekend
into an extended getaway filled with learn-
ing and fun. Come for the informative edu-
cational sessions and opportunity to net-
work with surgical leaders from around the
country, and stay for some much-deserved
relaxation in the resort's spa, by its stun-
ning pool or on its championship 18-hole
golf course. Visit orexcellence.com for
more information and to register for
surgery's can't-miss conference.
