Additional Educational Opportunity:

Join us a day early for the preference to the Infant Mortality conference called Eliminating the Disparities in Breastfeeding and Infant Mortality:  Taking Action for Equity.  Breastfeeding positively impacts the life course of both maternal and child health including the reduction of infant mortality, yet inequities in breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity persist, particularly in the African American, Appalachian, and rural populations.
