This 29th annual event will provide greater flexibility for attendance and a broader agenda. We are again partnering with Preeclampsia Foundation and expanded our expert speaker list. There is the option this year for a 5 hour “All things Insulin” Workshop along with the full two day conference. You register for the conference and then make a decision as how you are going to join, Live Virtual with access to speakers in real time, or recorded at your ability over 6 weeks.
This year’s conference is again with the expanded format. We welcome back the Preeclampsia Foundation as an educational partner. Our hope is to expand recognition of the work of each of our groups to a broader audience. My work in Sweet Success Express (SSE) and with Professional Education Center (PEC) brought me into connection with Preeclampsia Foundation and their founder, Eleni Tsigas, many years ago. I have marveled at their work and expansion and know that we have the shared goal of improving women’s and family health by providing education to both professionals and patients. In addition, I speak for the planning group here, we view both diabetes and hypertension as being “silent partners” in vascular pathology. They separately, and often together, add co-morbidity to pregnancy and lifelong implications for altered health. As practitioners you often address issues from both, so we hope to streamline that with expanded knowledge of both entities.
This conference has always offered an opportunity to improve care and pregnancy outcomes, reducing both maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. We are aware of the need and ability to provide concentrated education to patients in this unique time frame of pregnancy. We also know that our care is an ideal opportunity for prevention of further health complications from diabetes, and hypertensive/cardiac disorders throughout life as well. We recognize the crisis and recent increase in maternal mortality/morbidity, and the importance of examining the Social Determinants of Health as a prominent factor. This concern points us to ask how and when is care provided with the awareness of Maternal Deserts and the skills of all health teams in pregnancy care. Our goal is to provide both basics in care, and to explore some new research.
Team members include nurses, advanced practice nurses, midwives, and physicians, but also pharmacists, social workers, diabetes educators, nutritionists, psychologists, and life change specialists. Some wear more than one “hat”. The necessity for a coordinated team approach starting with knowledge of guidelines to care; alertness to signs, symptoms, and challenges; and awareness of resources to meet specialized care needs are obvious.
The addition of Preeclampsia Foundation provides a broader access to proven guidelines of care and available resources. Women with complex needs may have poor access to care and a greater risk of absent specialized care. This conference can expand the number of practitioners with a broader educational base in disease awareness, diagnosis, management, and continued care for improved outcomes in pregnancy and the lives of these families.
