2020 Fetal Family Reunion: Virtual Edition!

N. Scott Adzick, MD, MMM, FACS, FAAP: I would like to welcome you all to the 24th Fetal Family Reunion. This is our first virtual, you know, family reunion, all due to the COVID19 Pandemic. But COVID19 can't stop us. There is no way that we'd miss our favorite day of the year. On this virtual podium I represent all the incredible people on our team. Our team saves lives so which for babies, translates to saving lifetimes. I would like to recognize and applaud virtually our tremendous team.

Lori J. Howell, DNP, MS, RN: Our team would not miss this time with you. Each of you, as the center of our team, teach us. Your journeys are truly remarkable -- from gestation to graduation -- and inspire us every day to continue our mission to have the best outcome. Now please enjoy the first ever virtual Fetal Family Reunion.

Ethan:  I hope everyone has a great reunion.

Julie S. Moldenhauer, MD, FACOG, FACMG: Many of you have reached out during this time to show your thanks and gratitude for the team. I cannot tell you how much those gestures are appreciated and truly taken to heart by every single member of our team. I also want to take a moment to thank our team for their hard work and commitment, for making all the adjustments in how we administer care. The impact that we can make in the lives of our patients can truly last a lifetime so I thank you.
