News from the Surgeon General’s Conference On Preterm Birth
As prescribed by the PREEMIE Act, on June 16th and 17th, 2008, the Surgeon General’s Conference on Prevention of Preterm Birth convened to discuss issues and research initiatives related to reducing the preterm birth rate in the United States. So far, the biggest news out of the conference that I’ve heard, is the announcement by the March of Dimes that they are extending their preterm birth campaign by ten years, until 2020.
While I’m happy that the March of Dimes will continue to focus on preterm birth, I was hoping to hear something a little more earth shattering. I’d love to hear from any readers out there who have a scoop on the goings on at the Surgeon General’s Conference.
