Honoring Kim & Raising Awareness for Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE) 🌟
As many of you know, my dear friend and sister-midwife Deidre lost her sister, Kim, during childbirth 35 years ago due to a rare obstetric emergency called Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE). This heartbreaking loss has significantly impacted her life and work in maternal health.
This year, with the support of the AFE Foundation, she worked with the Governor’s office to have March 27th officially recognized in Kansas as Amniotic Fluid Embolism Awareness Day.
To honor Kim and help bring further awareness to AFE, she is hosting a gathering on March 27th. It will be a time to remember Kim, share about AFE awareness, and connect with friends, family, and community members.
I've included the event page details if you’d like to join. ❤️
