Crisis Pregnancy Centers

This session will feature a panel of investigative reporters on the front line of exposing the deceptive practices of CPCs, including a discussion of how these practices have adapted over time.

Free the Pill
The Free the Pill campaign aims to educate and engage the public in support of an over-the-counter (OTC) oral contraceptive (OC) option in the United States, and supports an OTC pill that is affordable, covered by insurance, and available to people of all ages without a prescription. The OCs OTC Working Group, the coalition behind the campaign, has engaged in a partnership with a pharmaceutical company to submit an OTC application to the FDA for a progestin-only pill. For this workshop session, we will present the case for moving OCs OTC as a way to expand contraceptive access, and will provide medical, youth, and policy perspectives on how to ensure that an OTC OC is available and accessible to all.

Is Your Health System Prepared for COVID-19?
Information regarding the novel coronavirus, the disease that it can cause (COVID-19), individual risk of infection, and prevention strategies have saturated the media. However, spread of coronavirus infection throughout the US may have profound impact on the operation of health care facilities, including family planning service sites. This session will highlight preparedness activities for ambulatory health systems to help mitigate the challenges that local spread could present. Drawn mainly from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, the content will include health care workforce and workplace guidelines that address protocols for when a patient presents with an acute respiratory infection as well as operational guidance to help ensure business continuity.

Family Planning and the Courts
The courts have long served as an important backstop against harmful administrative and legislative actions at the federal level and in the states, a fact which has been evidenced significantly in the last few years. Yet the courts are undergoing a massive shift in judicial ideology that is likely to have serious repercussions in the years, and perhaps decades, to come, particularly for family planning. This session will explore some of the key family planning-related cases currently pending at the federal level, how things have changed—and continue to change—in the courts, and what this might mean for the future.
Speakers: Ruth Harlow, JD, Senior Staff Attorney, ACLU, Emily Nestler, Senior Staff Attorney, Center for Reproductive Rights, Robin Summers, JD, Vice President, Health Care Strategy & Analysis, and Senior Counsel, NFPRHA

Diversity of experience and perspective can be a real asset to any organization. At the same time, there can be challenges in communication and effective collaboration that arise for intergenerational teams. This session will provide an introduction to understanding common experiences and perspectives of various generations and how they impact approaches to work and communication. A panel representing multiple generations will discuss strategies for improving our understanding of other generations, capitalizing on the strengths of team members from different generations, and creating work environments that foster better collaboration across generations.
