The Annual Session schedule is filled with the latest topics from today’s medical headlines including “Pediatrics in Pictures” with Paul Berman, M.D.; “Imaging: Choosing the Appropriate Exam” with Robert Milman, M.D.; “High Blood Sugars: What to do From Prediabetes up Until Insulin” with Thomas Blevins, M.D.; “Painful Joints: When to Treat, When to Inject” with Christopher Parker, D.O.; “Common Skin Conditions in Primary Care” with Christopher Sartori, M.D.; and “Ethics: Withdrawal of Care Issues in a Hospice Patient” with Ronald Crossno, M.D. To complement the educational experience, the Annual Session and Scientific Assembly will include an exciting array of exhibits and special events.

Things to do in Austin Surrounded by Central Texas’ rolling hills with Lady Bird Lake running through the city, Austin is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy a scenic stroll or cycle along the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail, covering more than 10 miles. Try water activities on the lake by renting a kayak or paddle board. Picnic at Zilker Park and swim at Barton Springs Pool, and stay to watch the free Zilker Summer Musical production of the Sound of Music in the evening. Observe city-meets-nature as Austin’s resident bats fly from under the Congress Street Bridge at dusk. Many Austin attractions are minutes from the hotel including the Texas State Capitol Building, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Blanton Museum, the Austin Children’s Museum, South Congress shopping, and the up-and-coming 2nd Street District. Questions? Ask the concierge or stop in to the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau, located at 301 Congress Avenue, Ste. 200. Or call 800-926-2282 or go to www. austintexas.org.
Navigating downtown Unlike the rest of the city, it’s easy to get around downtown! It’s set up as a grid with numbered streets starting at Cesar Chavez/1st Street, parallel to Lady Bird Lake, increasing numerically as you travel north. As a frame of reference, the Texas Capitol sits between 11th and 15th, and forms a T with Congress Avenue, dividing the downtown east-west streets. The east-west streets are named for the Texas rivers from south to north, so if you know your Texas geography, you can start at Rio Grande Street west of downtown and work your way east past Nueces, San Antonio, Lavaca, Colorado, Brazos, San Jacinto, Trinity, and Neches to Red River Street. If you need to venture farther from the hotel, cabs are available at the entrance of the hotel. To return, call Austin Cab Company at (512) 478-2222 (credit cards accepted and preferred) or Yellow Cab Austin at (512) 452-9999.
Work in a work out There’s no reason to take a break from your normal exercise regimen; Annual Session attendees have several options to get in a workout while in Austin. The Hilton Austin’s Tower Health Club and Spa features a 16,000 sq. ft. facility including a cardio fitness room, health club and spa, outdoor pool and hot tub, and strength training room. Access the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail from Congress Street, just a little more than a half-mile from the Hilton Austin. Below are the approximate roundtrip trail distances from Congress Street Bridge, traveling west (away from Interstate 35):
United Allergy Services................................... 328
To South 1st Bridge – 1.08 miles To Pfluger Bridge – 1.96 miles To MoPac Bridge – 4.94 miles
