Jacksonville MOMS Tour postponed due to severe weather...
The Director of Health and Human Services received notice of an impending hurricane that might hit Florida on the 11th/12th. As a result, we have been asked to postpone and reschedule the M.O.M.S Tour (Maternal Outcomes Matter Shower). HHS' concern is for all of us and especially for severely inclement weather that would place pregnant moms in jeopardy. We have made a decision to reschedule Jacksonville to a later date. Based on what has already occurred in Florida and now the forecast of more inclement weather via hurricane anticipated between October 3 and 12, we have chosen to exercise wisdom to plan the MOMS Tour Jacksonville for a later date.
We pray for those that have been impacted by the recent devastation and for continued safety. Thanks again for your time and support.
