We have been following the progression of the COVID-19 virus and have been discussing how to address its impact on our community. In an abundance of caution, and with the recommendations of both the Governor and the CDC in mind, we have decided to move all of our BreastfeedLA courses, continuing education classes, seminars, RBC meetings, community meetings, and other gatherings online until further notice. We will continue to update you with scheduling changes throughout the coming weeks.
Join us as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Women, Infants, and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program with your coworkers, friends, and colleagues!
Highlights:
An interactive online experience over 5 days, with each day ending by 2:30 pm to leave space for other work and time to reflect.
