Ep. 162: Understanding CMV in Children: The Parent and Policy Perspectives (Part 2 of 2)

In the second part of our series on congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV), we speak with two Nemours associates and mothers of children diagnosed with CMV at different stages of their journeys. They share personal stories of diagnosis, advocacy, resilience, and the everyday realities of parenting children affected by CMV.

Nemours Children’s Health policy experts also join the conversation to discuss current efforts and ongoing needs at the state and federal levels, including raising awareness, improving screening and supporting families through initiatives like the STOP CMV Act and other legislative efforts.
