NPA Collaborations (news item added 02/20/12 12:22:47 est)
At the Jan, 2012 board meeting we were pleased to learn of the work of the European Foundation for the Care on Newborn Infants (EFCNI), an organization similar to NPA. Silke Mader, chairwoman, discussed the many activities of EFNCI, related to both professional perinatal activities and advocacy for parents of newborns. A significant portion of the work of EFCNI is similar to the activities of the NPA's Family Advocacy Network. The NPA board invites you to visit the EFCNI website: www.efcni.org
