Gravidas at Risk 2021: Join Us 11/16-11/17

Written by Brooke Kochanski | Sep 9, 2021 2:34:00 PM

For 39 years the Gravidas at Risk Annual Perinatal Conference has been keeping attendees informed of the clinical issues and strategies important in the care of high-risk pregnant women. We had a very successful webinar last year for this activity and will hold this years conference via live webinar again. Holding webinars allows for better reach to our target audience and helps Health Department nurses obtain this critical information even on limited time and travel budget.
