Please join us for this year’s annual Syphilis Solutions Summit on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, from 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET! Hosted by New Insights in Sexual Health (NISH), a Child Trends project, this year’s theme is “Expanding Screening and Treatment Across the Pregnancy-to-Neonatal Care Continuum.” It focuses on the strategies states and local communities are using to ensure no pregnant patient or newborn falls through the cracks. The Summit is open to anyone working in or interested in public health, maternal and child health, or infectious disease prevention. Registration closes Sunday, August 16, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
In addition to opening remarks from CDC’s Division STD Prevention, we are excited to feature the following guest speakers on this year’s summit:
- Dr. Debra Bogen, Pennsylvania Secretary of Health, will discuss the role of state health leaders in prioritizing congenital syphilis efforts by sharing work in Pennsylvania.
- Lawrencia Gougisha, Statewide Nurse Educator from Louisiana Health STD/HIV/Hepatitis Program, will highlight the development of the state’s expanded point of care testing model.
- Anne Statton, Executive Director of the Mother and Child Alliance, will share congenital syphilis efforts in northeastern Illinois and how that work is integrated with Fetal Infant Mortality Review processes.
