RELEASED LAST WEEK

Under the leadership of the Health Policy and Advocacy Committee, SMFM wrote a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate leadership last week, detailing SMFM’s priorities for the next COVID-19 emergency response package. Read the complete letter here.

COMING THIS WEEK

SMFM will host two, no-cost webinars this week. Registration details are below. If you are not able to view the webinars live, recordings will be posted after the live broadcast. If you have questions or problems registering, please email Gabbie Taylor at gtaylor@smfm.org.
