HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Care Providers of Minnesota (CPM) is committed to providing a safe environment for all convention participants, CPM staff, and Mystic Lake Center staff. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, CPM staff, Mystic Lake Center staff, service providers, and all others are expected to follow any federal, state, or local health and safety standards, as well as any health and safety standards that may be implemented by Mystic Lake Center after your registration, up to and through the end of the convention. Since there may be significant changes in pandemic protocols between now and the convention, Care Providers of Minnesota will work with Mystic Lake Center staff and others to have health and safety protocols in place with the well-being of convention participants in mind. The convention health and safety protocols will be emailed to all convention participants and posted on site. The finalized protocols will align with both the CDC and state MDH guidelines in place this fall.
