Join health care providers, parents, regulators, policy makers and advocates for the 2020 Infant Health Policy Summit on September 10. This year’s summit will be held virtually because, in spite of the current public health situation, we must continue the important dialogue about issues facing the infant health community and their families.

Safety. Premature infants are born vulnerable. Products, treatments and related public policies should prioritize these fragile infants’ safety.
Access. Budget-driven health care policies should not preclude premature infants’ access to preventative or necessary therapies.
Nutrition. Proper nutrition and full access to health care keep premature infants healthy after discharge from the NICU.
Equality. Prematurity and related vulnerabilities disproportionately impact minority and economically disadvantaged families. Restrictions on care and treatment should not worsen inherent disparities.
