Obstetrical providers, clinical staff, and healthcare organization leaders are invited to this live webinar at Noon ET on May 8, 2015. Presenters Larry Shields and Eleni Tsigas will provide an overview for timely recognition of and effective response to preeclampsia and resources for health care professionals and patients.
