We are excited to extend to you a cordial invitation to our upcoming Call to Action Summit for Congenital Syphilis, which will be held in Central Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas. This call-to-action summit will be free and offer CEs and will serve as a platform to address this crisis collectively. The Arkansas Department of Health looked at missed prevention opportunities among mothers delivering infants with Congenital Syphilis in Arkansas from 2019–2021 and found the most prevalent missed opportunity was no timely treatment despite timely diagnosis. Many providers lack accurate information about syphilis, its transmission, symptoms, and available resources. This call-to-action summit will serve as a platform to address this crisis collectively through a review of current statistics and best practices. There will be two opportunities to attend this summit - May 9 in Central Arkansas and May 21 in Northwest Arkansas.
