Shana LaFlamme, nurse consultant and co-chair of the Infant Mortality Review Committee, opened the June meeting and asked members to introduce themselves and their roles. "I'm Shana LaFlamme. I'm the nurse consultant for the Infant Mortality Review Committee and co chair of the committee," she said.

Diana, the committee's co-chair, identified herself as "a general pediatrician in New Haven, Connecticut, and, also the co chair of this committee." The meeting progressed through roll call and brief introductions from clinicians and agency staff representing hospitals, the Department of Public Health, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Children and Families, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The committee reviewed the April minutes and, with a motion from Julie Beahill and a second from Diana, approved them without further amendment. The chair then opened a public-comment period but noted there were no external public commenters present at that time.

The committee moved to a closed executive session to review confidential infant-death cases. As the chair explained, "This will be a closed discussion for our committee to discuss confidential matters related to infant deaths in Connecticut, requiring privacy privacy to deliberate on this issue," and members were asked to join a Zoom link to continue case review. Attendees worked briefly to help a member, Roberto, join the Zoom session after he experienced technical problems accessing the meeting link.

The executive session concluded and the chair called for a motion to adjourn; members moved and seconded the motion and the meeting ended. The committee set its next meeting for July 2 at 05:30.

Attendance at the meeting included clinicians (neonatology, pediatrics, OB-GYN), nurse data abstractors, public health epidemiologists and managers, representatives of the Department of Social Services and the Department of Children and Families, and staff from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. No formal policy decisions or case details were discussed in the public record; the substantive case review occurred in executive session.
