Breastfeeding Conference - CANCELLED

In light of the national and state public health emergency related to COVID-19, Southeast Georgia Health System is taking extra precautions to try to minimize the spread of the illness in the community. As you may already know, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a statement on March 15, 2020 urging the public to cancel any gatherings of 50 or more people for the next eight weeks. We are taking the CDC’s recommendation seriously and, as such, regret to inform you that this year’s Breastfeeding Conference has been cancelled.

We look forward to this event every year and will miss seeing all of our IBCLC colleagues and friends next month. However, we are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule the conference for later this year and will keep you posted once a new date is set. If you have already submitted your payment for the April 24 conference, refunds will be issued.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Kim Buckley, R.N., BSN, manager, Patient Care Services at kim.buckley@sghs.org or call 912-466-4171.
