We cordially invite you to join our upcoming webinar on maternal health with our partners at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our special guests from the CDC will share information about the Hear Her initiative, which raises awareness of potentially life-threatening warning signs during and after pregnancy.
Over 700 women die each year in the United States from problems related to pregnancy or delivery complications. Every death is a tragedy, especially when we know that two thirds of pregnancy-related deaths could be prevented. As many as 50,000 women experience severe, unexpected health problems related to pregnancy that may have long-term health consequences.
Specifically, they will discuss:
How the CDC tracks pregnancy-related deaths and efforts to prevent these deaths and ensure healthy births
Resources and tools to help empower women to speak up about concerns and encourage women’s support systems to engage in important conversations with her
Insights into how community partners can localize campaign materials to best fit their needs
When: Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at 2 p.m.-3 p.m. ET
Speakers:
Romeo Galang, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer/ Acting Associate Director for Health Equity, Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Brittany Behm, MPH, Health Communications Specialist, Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
