Maternal Child & Family Health News:
The Maternal, Child and Family Health Coalition thanks our Gold Sponsor, the Signature Healthcare Foundation, and our Silver Sponsor, St. Louis Children’s Hospital, for their support of our 5th annual conference, “Advancing Women’s Health: The Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Women’s Health.” Conference participants increased their knowledge of the elements of the Affordable Care Act and found the conference to be engaging and beneficial. As one conference participant stated: “I learned so much about the benefits of ACA and the positive impact it will have on women and their families.”
