The Parent Resource Network is hosting the 2010 Preemie Conference on Saturday, August 14, 2010, at the Western PA School for Blind Children in Pittsburgh. The conference welcomes medical professionals, educators, parents, community leaders – everyone with an interest in healthy babies – to learn about babies born in prematurity and the issues surrounding them and their families.
Preterm birth is more common that most of us realize. According to the March of dimes, Allegheny County has a preterm birth rate of 12.2%. That’s one out of eight babies born in the Pittsburgh area.
The conference covers a wide range of topics on prematurity and offers numerous breakout sessions for attendees. Also, the first 150 registrants will be able to participate in the “Preemie for a Day” program. This program includes an overview of developmental care as well as hands-on workshops on admissions, positioning, feeding, and addressing the needs of the family.
For more information or to register for the confernce, see the Parent Resource Network’s web site: 2010 Preemie Conference.
