NEWBURGH, NY, Nov 12, 2024—The Maternal Infant Services Network (MISN), a community–based non-profit that provides programs and resources to families to bridge the gaps in healthcare access, on Friday, November 1, received a New York State proclamation from Senator James Skoufis of the 42nd Senate District of NY honoring its service to the community in over three decades.
The event, held at the MISN Newburgh office, included staff and partners of the non-profit.
