Important Advocacy Information for Families!

Health insurance wouldn't cover one child's hearing tests. Reporters with Health Care Helpline investigated and share this advice for what to do if preventive care gets denied.

While we prepare for the upcoming CMV PHP Conference, we would love to have families participating. Please see the following opportunity.

Dear CMV Families,

We’d like to invite you to take part in a meaningful project ahead of the CMV Public Health & Policy Meeting this September.
As part of our program, we’ll be presenting a short video montage featuring CMV children and young adults—thanking the doctors, researchers, and public health leaders who have dedicated their careers to this cause. These heartfelt messages will be a powerful reminder of why their work matters so deeply, and we believe that hearing directly from CMV kids will be an incredibly moving and motivating moment.

If you’re interested, we’d love for you to record a brief video (ideally 20-40 seconds, max 1 minute) of your child sharing a simple message such as:
• “Thank you for helping kids like me!”
• “Because of your work, I’m doing great!”
• Or just their name, age, and a smile or wave—anything that feels right to your family.

Please record the video with your phone held in landscape mode (horizontally) for the best quality when we put the clips together.

Please send the video file to rtetrault@cmvcanada.com

This is completely optional, but we’d love to include as many voices as we can.

Thank you again for being such an important part of this community.

Warmly,
Rob Tetrault
President, CMV Canada
