At 34 weeks, Lauren’s twins arrived early and her delivery spiraled into a fight for survival—multiple surgeries, time in a coma, and the painful reality of not always being respected or heard. Today, her twins are thriving, and her story sheds light on the urgent need for patients’ voices to be centered in care.

This workshop shares Lauren’s journey as both a mother and an attorney, offering vital lessons for expectant parents and healthcare providers. Participants will learn practical ways to prepare, advocate, and work together to face the challenges of prematurity with greater support and respect.
