History of PAIL Support in Iowa
The history of pregnancy and infant loss support in Iowa began with a dedicated group of healthcare providers, bereaved families, and advocacy groups. Their collaboration led to the formation of the Iowa PAIL Coalition, which now spearheads initiatives to enhance awareness, provide emotional support, and influence policy changes across the state. This development underscores Iowa's commitment to improving support networks for families facing such profound losses.
