In March 2004, the Campaign published its first "Nurses Newletter" for nurses in the six Central Massachusetts birthing hospitals. The newsletter, compiled by Sarah Spurgeon of Massachusetts Citizens for Children, contains stories about the Nurses Breakfast, the SBS Quilts, and the Campaign's Eight Point Plan to reduce Shaken Baby Syndrome. The newsletter also features a profile of Betsy Lowe, RN, SBS Nurse Consultant. (CLICK your browser's BACK BUTTON to return to this page.)
