Birth, Breastfeeding and Beyond:

Embracing the New Era

 

HC One's national conference brings people together in real time and real space, to offer one another encouragement, resources, practical skills, and support.  This year, we hosted 119 participants, speakers, and volunteers at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza, from as far apart as American Samoa and St. Louis, Japan and Texas, New York, Georgia, and Illinois -- to name a few.

 

Thank you to all who attended the 2009 conference!  Your participation, engagement and passion during the entire two days was inspiring.  Thank you to our Soul Care providers, our presenters, our volunteers, and thank YOU for returning to this page weeks after the conference.  This page is for you.
