The vision of ICAN is to make the Speaker Series a bimonthly event.
Our host will be examining current issues around maternity care in a
fresh thought-provoking format by interviewing a variety of childbirth
experts. The next event is scheduled for July 2013.

Visionary Art Museum, on Public Radio, and in performance venues
