CADE'S ANNUAL LECTURE
The Cade R. Alpard Lecture in Pediatric Liver Disease and Liver Transplantation was started in 2006 to bring national and international experts to Texas Children's Hospital to give Grand Rounds lecture on pediatric liver disease. This Annual Lectureship supports the educational mission of Cade's Foundation and provides a forum for us to engage the leading experts on the progress being made to help children with liver disease.
