about WiSSP

Catherine A Reiser, M.S.

WiSSP is supported in part through funds from the Wisconsin Maternal and Child Health Block Grant. Our funding for the program has been renewed for the year beginning October 1, 1994, and tentatively through September 30, 1999. We look forward to our continued partnership to provide services for families of stillborns throughout Wisconsin.

You should soon receive the annual report summarizing our activities of the past year and our most recent statistics. As always a follow-up survey to be completed and returned will be enclosed. Since your ongoing support and commitment are vital to the continued success of the Wisconsin Stillbirth Service Program, we rely upon your comments and suggestions as to how we can better serve your needs and fulfill our mission. Please take a few moments after the survey arrives to thoughtfully complete it and return it to us.

Some have asked us if there is a say for families or others to monetarily contribute to WiSSP. There is a sequestered account, U.W. Foundation/Friends of Clinical Genetics, for that purpose. Memorials or other contributions should be sent to the address on the last page of this newsletter. Funds donated to WiSSP are typically used for purchasing resources for the lending library, or for educational travel.

Thank you for asking.
