Tuesday Evening Kickoff: Optional Film Screening of 24 Days Without You!

For the first time, the TIPQC Annual Meeting will begin with an optional pre-meeting event on the evening of Tuesday, March 24th from 7:00-8:30PM. We invite you to join us for a special showing of “24 Days Without You,” a powerful film that has received national recognition in the Twin Cities Film Fest 2024, Women’s International Film Festival 2025, San Diego Independent Cinema Awards, and Detroit Independent Film Festival 2025. This film follows Annie and Tony Sterle’s journey through Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE). The screening will conclude with a brief facilitated discussion, offering attendees a chance to reflect and engage with this impactful story.

While attendance is optional, we encourage everyone to participate in this meaningful kickoff.

Introducing the Dedicated SUD/OEN Track: Best Practices for Treating Pregnant Women with Substance Use Disorder and Opioid-Exposed Newborns

This year, we are proud to introduce a new dedicated learning track focused on substance use disorder and opioid-exposed newborns. Attendees who complete this track will earn a TIPQC Perinatal Recovery Champion—a credential designed to recognize expertise and leadership in this critical area of care. To be eligible for the certificate, attendees must sign in at at least 3 workshops in the SUD/OEN Track, as defined in the annual meeting agenda, and complete the pre-work.

We encourage every hospital to have at least one participant in this track, as it represents a unique opportunity to deepen knowledge by learning from state and national experts, build skills, and make a lasting impact in your community.

Workshops will include:

  • History of Addiction, Pitfalls of Toxicology, & A Patient’s Reflection
  • Anesthesia & Universal Postpartum Naloxone at Hospital Discharge
  • Infant & Nursery Best Practices for Opioid Exposed Newborns
  • Perinatal Mental Health & Substance Use Disorders
