Educational Spotlight
In 2018, the Connecticut Department of Health passed a landmark bill to mandate education of AFE to all Connecticut labor and delivery clinicians with education created in collaboration with the AFE Foundation. The collaboration brought AFE patients and families, clinicians, and governmental agencies together to promote AFE education.
We are grateful to the Connecticut Department of Health, the bill author and AFE survivor, Pattie Shea, legislative bill sponsors Representatives Mitch Bolinsky and Pam Staneski, and the families that shared their powerful stories during the legislative testimony for their efforts in seeing this Bill signed into law.
