Richard Stafford, MD and Bob Telander, MD Exceptional Care Lecture

The Dr. Richard Stafford and Dr. Bob Telander Exceptional Care Endowment was established in 2015 to provide support for an annual honorary lecture in pediatric gastroenterology. This fund was created through the generosity of the Frey family, after their grandson Adam's life was saved. Adam was diagnosed with Total Colon Hirschprungs Disease shortly after birth, and during his stay at Children's St. Paul, he received exceptional care from Dr. Stafford, Dr. Telander and the nursing staff.


This presentation will be held both in-person in the 2nd Floor Education Center on the Minneapolis Campus with lunch provided while quantities last or virtually. We will try our best to provide a meal for you; however, all is dependent on final number of attendees.

When you register, you will be asked to enter whether you will be attending in-person or virtually.
