DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas - (Business Wire) A month ago, when Alan J. Huber announced the first-ever conference organized to be an open forum for discussion and debate on
“the crisis in childbirth in the U.S. today,
” he expected to
“open a scab that really wasn
’t healing.
” Since then, news of the event set for March 27-29, 2009 at the Fort Worth Convention Center has generated broad interest across medical professions, across the U.S., and across the Atlantic, surprising even the always-upbeat Huber.
“Over the past six weeks, I’ve taken part in birth industry events as far away as Scotland,” he said, “and everyone seems to know about the Controversies in Childbirth Conference (www.birthconference.org). Because this is the first time all parties are invited to present their viewpoints in an untainted, no preaching to the choir atmosphere, it seems everyone in childbirth is anxious to take part.”
Huber has received inquiries and requests to speak from doctors of obstetrics, midwives, hospital administrators, malpractice and other insurance providers, lawyers and advocacy groups.
“These people recognize the importance of working for a better tomorrow, and why it must be done today,” he said. “For a decade, the childbirth community has been backed into corners, enduring skyrocketing costs with diminished remuneration to providers. Now, finally, the entire childbirth community will be together under one roof to work toward finding common ground that benefits everyone, including parents-to-be, who have found their choices more and more limited.”
Side-by-side with the Controversies in Childbirth Conference, a Free Baby Expo – featuring all-things-baby for the 80,000-plus births expected in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in 2009 – will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Information on exhibiting is available at www.dfwbabyexpo.com
Attention Business and Healthcare Editors/Bloggers: Alan J. Huber is available for interviews. “I have no agenda . . . no axe to grind,” he said, “other than working toward achieving and maintaining the highest standards possible for childbirth in America.” Mr. Huber can also provide access to Conference speaker/experts.
