Themed, “Integrating Systems and Reimagining Models of Care,” this two-day conference will provide a unique opportunity and a safe space to analyze the health disparities that birthing persons encounter from gestation, birth, postpartum, and first two years after childbirth.

We invite healthcare professionals, providers, community-based organizations, college students, public health practitioners, social workers, and other related professions to engage in critical public health dialogue, informative presentations, speeches, and personal stories given by renowned local and national maternal and child health experts and those with lived experiences.
