Dear NPA Members, Friends & Colleagues: As conference chair, I invite you to attend the 2008 Annual Conference of the National Perinatal Association. We chose Loma Linda as our venue to highlight our theme of “Spectrum of Violence in Perinatal and Neonatal Care: Reducing the Risks and Stressors” in part because it complements the university’s mission of “Making Man Whole.” In addition to addressing the actual physical manifestation of violence on women and children, the conference focuses on issues that are spectrum issues of violence from lack of skin to skin contact, to development issues that result from our aggressive attempts to save our most precarious neonates, as well as sexual assault and domestic violence. In keeping with NPA’s vision, the theme of the meeting embraces a multifaceted approach; perspectives of families, providers, and advocates, while including broader concerns that affect perinatal health and health care. Mitchell Goldstein,

Since its beginning, NPA has provided a forum for nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, pediatricians, obstetricians, family physicians, social workers, nutritionists, clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, developmental specialists, respiratory therapists, out-reach workers, consumers, administrators, educators, legislators, and all others interested in perinatal health. We encompass fifty states and have formed coalitions with state perinatal associations and numerous other nonprofit organizations.
NPA is national. NPA is multidisciplinary. NPA is committed. These three strengths make NPA uniquely effective to respond to a persistent national concern: limited access to adequate, risk-appropriate perinatal care for families in the United States.
