Description

ICAN of SW VA hosts an All About Birth Expo every year. ICAN is an all volunteer organization. ICAN of SW VA holds monthly, free educational meetings to the public about all things birth related. ICAN works to educate women, families, the public and even care providers about cesarean section risks and how to avoid them.
