PICC was honored to have been invited to speak at a nationwide conference on Substance Exposed Newborns in Alexandria, VA last month. This summit, hosted by the National AIA Resource Center, showcased exemplary policies and practices for identifying pregnant substance users and developing plans of safe care for their newborns. Attended by members of the medical, social and legal communities, it was extremely informative and comforting to know that so many people are trying to develop strategies to help these smallest victims of drug abuse.
Baby Showers Have a "baby shower" for PICC to help collect items that are needed at the center. PICC 's “wish list” is a great resource to help you make purchases that are "just right" while collecting items that are specific for these little ones.
