PHCC Connect 2024 will be held Monday, Oct. 7, though Thursday, Oct. 10, at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham, Alabama. The theme of this year’s conference is “Authentic Connections,” and building trust and growing relationships will be the primary focus, according to a PHCC press release.
