The Indiana Department of Health’s annual Labor of Love infant mortality summit is set to take place in Indianapolis this month. The theme of this year’s summit is “Expecting More”, a call for more emphasis, action, and collaboration in continued efforts to improve infant and maternal health outcomes.
The event will take place at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis on July 23rd from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and on July 24 from 8 AM to 4:30 PM.
State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, M.D., FACEP will deliver remarks on both days of the summit, which will also feature panels and presentations on topics including maternal mental health, teen pregnancy, substance use disorder, infant loss and bereavement, safe sleep for infants, and the benefits of breastfeeding.
The summit takes place following the release of data indicating a decrease in Indiana’s infant mortality rate to 6.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2023, compared to 7.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022.
