The Convening

September 27-28, 2022

Every year, Missouri’s community partners gather in one place to make real-world change and build connections to better serve women and infants. The annual Maternal and Infant Health Convening is a core part of The Uplift Connection’s purpose to serve as a hub, convene thought leaders, build awareness of regional and local efforts, and connect maternal and infant stakeholders and work across the state. This year we are meeting at the DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel St. Louis, Westport.
