The race to birthing equities with Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton on the Birth Equity Initiative

How can we guarantee that every mother has access to safe and equitable maternal care, regardless of her ethnicity or place of residence?

This episode of Dialogue examines what it will take to bridge the gap and how to provide a more equitable experience for all women through talks on systemic disparities, the effects on communities, and new initiatives made to address these challenges. Plus, an upcoming workshop to help you build a “Book of Life” about your family history.
