UPCOMING CHATS
Preemie Chats is CPBF’s live video series created to bring families, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates into one shared conversation around prematurity. Each session explores topics that matter to life before, during, and beyond. New conversations are added regularly, and every episode is designed to inform, encourage, and strengthen the connection between evidence, care, and family experience.
Tune in live every Friday at 1 PM EST on Facebook, YouTube or LinkedIn, or explore past episodes below.
