Dr. Denise Maguire speaks at national March of Dimes webinar

University of South Florida College of Nursing Assistant Professor, Denise Maguire, PhD, RN, CNL, was invited to speak about supporting families with addiction disorders at a March of Dimes NICU Family Support National Webinar on Feb. 28.

“My presentation was mostly focused on prevailing theories of addiction (moral failure vs. chronic disease), pathophysiologic changes in the brain and practical interventions that support these families in the NICU,” reported Dr. Maguire.

NICU Family Support, a March of Dimes program, addresses the needs of parents, siblings and other family members during the transition home and in the event of a newborn death.
