Healthy Mothers, Healthy Birth Summit 2011
Brought to you by Birth Matters VA
The Healthy Mothers Healthy Birth Summit 2011 calls together physicians, researchers, midwives, childbirth professionals, and advocacy groups to examine the rising maternal mortality rate in the US. Setting aside all cultural, personal, and professional bias, this extraordinary group of professionals and lay people will tackle an almost silent epidemic in the United States. The result will be a formal white paper recommendation that will be distributed widely across the country.
This EVENT is SOLD OUT!
April 9th, 2011
8:30am – 5:30pm
Shenandoah University
Dulles Campus
