Register for March 24 Grande Rounds: Your Passport to Healthy Travels

The Boca Grande Health Clinic Foundation and the Boca Grande Health Clinic invite you to Your Passport to Healthy Travels, part of the 2026 Grande Rounds series, on Tuesday, March 24, presented in partnership with Friends of Boca Grande.

We are honored to welcome Mark Kline, M.D., as our featured speaker. A globally recognized infectious disease specialist and global health leader, Dr. Kline has spent more than 40 years leading infectious disease research, clinical care programs, and global health initiatives. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President, Physician-in-Chief, and Chief Medical Officer at Manning Family Children’s in New Orleans. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his global health contributions and serves as Editor-in-Chief of Rudolph’s Pediatrics, one of the world’s most widely recognized medical textbooks.

Moderated by Bret Kueber, M.D., this program will focus on the questions our physicians hear most often from patients who travel internationally: What vaccines or medications are needed? What if illness develops abroad? When should you call your physician after returning home? Dr. Kline will offer clear, practical guidance and share stories from his travels around the world.

The presentation will be followed by audience Q&A.
