You know what they say... Practice makes perfect! The staff at UnityPoint Health Hospital did exactly that. They practiced what to do if a baby is being surrendered to them. In Wisconsin babies can be surrendered up to 72 hours old as long as they are unharmed and no one is forcing them to give up the baby. A baby can be surrendered to Hospitals, EMS staff, or Police Officers. Do you know the law is in your state? The age of the baby, the locations, and the resources, vary from state to state.

Emily Douglas will be speaking at our 2022 virtual conference. She joined the Montclair State faculty in fall 2020 as full professor and chair of the Department of Social Work & Child Advocacy. Her research focuses on the program and policy implications of issues that address child and family well-being, largely in the areas of family violence: fatal child maltreatment, under-represented victims of partner violence and help-seeking, children’s exposure to partner violence, corporal punishment, family disruption, and the connection between research and policy. Dr. Douglas is the author of 60+ peer-reviewed publications, 4 books, and she presents annually at domestic and international conferences. Dr. Douglas has spoken at the State Houses in Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut and before a Congressionally-created committee focused on children’s deaths. She is a former Congressional fellow, sponsored by SRCD/AAAS; during this time, she held a position in the U.S. Senate where she was the lead author on an investigation concerning for-profit foster care.

Joining the list of speakers for our 2022 virtual conference is Lori Bruce. She is an ethicist at Yale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics. She is the Co-Director of the Adult Ethics Committee at Yale-New Haven Hospital and the founder and chair of the Community Bioethics Forum at Yale School of Medicine, a committee which amplifies the voices and values of community members within health policy. She has written and enhanced scores of medical and health policies including state laws on informed consent (such as CT’s 2022 law requiring explicit consent for intimate exams) and policies related to prescription drug use, end-of-life, and organ allocation. Much of her work focuses on transparency and community inclusion with an emphasis on structured methods for ethical policymaking, covering a broad range of topics including infant abandonment laws, ethics of psychedelic medicine, end-of-life issues, COVID-19 allocation protocols, and brain death. Lori also directs the Summer Institute in Bioethics, an international program for physicians, legal scholars, philosophers, and students interested in ethics of health policy and medicine, and she teaches courses on bioethics & health policy to promote more ethical policymaking. Her graduate degrees are in bioethics from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and neuroimaging from Boston University’s School of Medicine, with an undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon and advanced policy education from the Harvard Kennedy School and Northwestern University. Her writing appears in popular press (including the New York Times and Huffington Post) and academic journals (including the Hastings Center Report, the Journal of Medical Ethics, and the American Journal of Bioethics). She is also an Adjunct Professor at the Bioethics Program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a Contributing Editor for the Hastings Center, and a member of the Pediatric Ethics Committee at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
