Our 8th Annual Awards and Fundraiser Event, 
Sunday November 8th, 2009 at the Renaissance Center was a trermndous success! We celebrated our award recipients, Leslie Fehan, CNM and Sara Farris Krivanec, CD; listened to Robbie Davis-Floyd speak about Birth Models That Work; and hadd great fun participating in the silent auction.

On Monday, November 9, 2009, BMV co-sponsered a half-day workshop with Bon Secours Richmond Health System. Ms Davis-Floyd's talk on Three Paradigms of Health and Birth Care: The Technocratic, Humanistic and Holistic Models was well attended by health care professionals from throughout the Bon Secours system as well  as others in the community. In the afternoon, she gave her final talk to the medical students, residents and faculty members of the OB/GYN department at VCU Health Center.

We would like to acknowledge the sponsors, those who donated to the auction and to all of our attendees. The combined support allows Birth Matters Virginia to raise funds so that we may continue to provide education and support in our commitment to evidence-based care practices.
