How COVID rocked our world from conception and beyond!

Much progress has been made in the care of high-risk pregnant women, critically ill newborns, and families. Still, we have more work to do to ensure the best and safest care for these populations. This year the conference addresses topics related to COVID and its effects on pregnancy, newborns, family, and community.
