Thank you to all who were able to attend today’s Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality (OCPIM) Statewide Town Hall meeting. During the webinar, we heard from the Ohio Department of Medicaid about the latest infant mortality data and updates on the Ohio Maternal and Infant Support Program. The latest infant mortality data is attached. We also welcomed representatives from Groundwork Ohio, a non-partisan research and advocacy organization, to share information about how to effectively advocate and speak with legislators.
We hope you find this information timely as we approach Ohio Infant Vitality Advocacy Day on Wednesday, September 13. As a reminder, OCPIM members are invited to attend the Infant Vitality Advocacy Reception on Tuesday, September 12 from 5:00-6:30 pm at the Ohio Statehouse. Please RSVP to Rachel Schubert, Manager of Government Relations, Capitol Partners at Rachel@CapitolPartnersOhio.com or by phone at 412-508-2974.
