Children's Medical Ventures will offer its nationally renowned Preemie for a Day® Program during the Massachusetts Prematurity Summit 2007.

Preemie for a Day® is an interactive, multi-sensory training program that contrasts the experience of the infant in a traditional environment to a developmentally supportive one. This unique program includes an overview of developmental care as well as hands-on workshops on admissions, positioning, feeding and addressing the needs of the family. The program, led by CMV's clinically active faculty, is a four-hour workshop.

Since 1991, Children's Medical Ventures has been working to establish developmentally supportive, family-centered care as the standard of care in the newborn intensive care unit with innovative products and education programs. The interactive programs heighten the awareness of caregivers to the impact that care practices and the environment have on premature infants and their families. In addition to Preemie for a Day®, Children's Medical Ventures offers the comprehensive Wee Care® Program and a wide variety of additional educational programs as described at their website
