When a neonatal emergency occurs, your team's preparation and rapid response determine outcomes.

Join Dr. Kris Karlsen of The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program and Julie Bacon with the American Red Cross, for a collaborative webinar designed for leaders, educators, and providers seeking practical, workforce-enabling strategies for care teams beyond the delivery room.

This session gives special attention to rural and critical access settings, where preparation carries even greater weight.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Gain increased understanding of infant mortality in the US and how education can improve neonatal outcomes.
  • Define and recognize the maternity care desert crisis and how that negatively impacts access to care.
  • Uncover the Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS) curriculum and how it is designed as a framework for responding to neonatal emergencies.
  • Explore The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program and how it serves as the follow-up education to effective resuscitation, functioning as a pre-transport stabilization curriculum.
  • Receive answers to your questions, live from the experts shaping neonatal education today.
