Title
Group B Strep Association
Description
The Group B Strep Association (GBSA) is a non-profit organization that was formed in June of 1990 by parents whose babies died from this devastating infection.
The Association has members from all over the United States, Canada, England, as well as many overseas countries. Through their volunteer efforts, these individuals are educating their local communities via newspaper articles, television programs, GBSA educational pamphlet distribution, speaking engagements, letter writing, and sharing their own experiences with GBS. Please view our timeline of activities in order to see the progression of our activities and the hard earned exposure we have brought to this disease. LINK HERE to timeline
Our efforts have been a labor of love for our babies. By the mid 1990’s, just five years after our organization began members of the Group B Strep Association were able to convince the medical community to publish the first ever national standards for prevention of GBS disease in newborns. In June of 1996, the first national medical standards for neonatal GBS prevention were published by the Centers for Disease Control,the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We worked in conjunction with these medical organizations and participated in the National Medical Consensus meeting held in San Francisco, California.
