THANKS FOR ATTENDING THE MAWS SPRING MINI-CONFERENCE!

April 18, 2008 found area midwives, physicians, lactation consultants and doulas joined in a great educational event at the MAWS Spring Mini-Conference.

Our thanks go out to Suzy Meyers, LM, CPM for an update on shoulder dystocia and Jennifer Gallardo, CPM, LDM for sharing her experience with breech delivery. Many have raved about the advanced suturing workshop with Kathryn Arendt, MD. Finally, Tracy Cooper, LM, CPM & Michele Sarju, LM, CPM finished off the day with a light and lovely gathering to share stories from the weird and wacky word of midwifery.

Our great appreciation is extended to all our presenters and those behind the scenes that made the Spring Mini-Conference such a success. We look forward to seeing you all again for our annual Fall Conference.
