TERRE HAUTE —
Pace Community Action Agency Inc. was represented at the National Family Planning Title X Conference from Aug. 1-3 in St. Louis. Health Connection staff who attended the three day training include Angie Graber, RN-C; Michelle Pitcher, Health Connection manager; and Pam Jackson RN/health educator.
This conference was designed especially for Title X family planning care providers to hear the latest data directly from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health representatives. Attendees were also given the opportunity to ask questions to a panel of reproductive health experts from across the country. “Networking with colleagues help re-energize and rekindle the passion for our work in support of Title X and the clients we serve,” said Jackson.
