On May 11, 2016, the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Programs (MCAH) held its first LAMB Advisory Summit at the Magnolia Place. Over 40 community stakeholders attended. The Summit provided an opportunity to share LAMB findings. We hope these findings will inform initiatives to improve maternal, infant, and toddler health in our communities. We would like to thank the Summit Planning Committee members who made the event possible. A big "thank you" to all the dedicated LAMB Project staff, moms who responded to the LAMB surveys, and Summit participants who provided valuable input to guide the LAMB Project.
