Dear Southeast Regional Friends,
The MALCA (Memphis Area Lactation Consultant Association), SCBC (Shelby County Breastfeeding Coalition), and LeBonheur Children’s Hospital are delighted to host our biannual
“Breastfeeding Update 2010 – Prevention at Its Finest” in Memphis, August 4, 2010
this year with the world renowned, Dr. Miriam Labbok. Dr. Labbok is a leader and researcher in preventive medicine, infant feeding, and maternal and global health. We are honored that she is coming to spend 1 1/2 days with us in Memphis during World Breastfeeding Week! Dr. Labbok is a Professor of the Practice of Public Health, Director of the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute, in the Department of Maternal and Child Health, Gillings School of Global Public Health, at UNC Chapel Hill. Our conference will also highlight some “Local Heroes” from right here in Shelby County!
In an effort to be environmentally-friendly, while getting the word out widely and quickly, please distribute the attached brochure to all of your contacts. If you would like a few “pretty” copies of the brochure mailed to you, our LeBonheur associates have agreed to help us with mailing, so just tell me how many and the address. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email, or phone.
We look forward to hosting many of our Southeast Regional friends for a conference that will inspire us in our efforts to give all our mothers and babies, and our entire Southeast community a chance for better health.
With warm regards,
