Black Maternal and Infant Health Symposium

The symposium unites healthcare providers, advocacy groups, social workers, and mental health professionals to address Black maternal and infant health disparities. The presentations and conversation will tackle implicit bias, improve communication, and implement best practices to prevent complications and reduce mortality rates in the Black community. It is a great time to learn about innovative programs, network, and advocate for policy changes and health equity.
