Hybrid Event: Advancing Maternal Health Equity: How Can Research, Policy, and Advocacy Inform Solutions? – Feb 27
Posted by Urban Institute on February 25, 2025
Maternal and infant health inequities remain a significant challenge in the United States, disproportionately affecting historically marginalized communities. Despite gains in coverage through Affordable Care Act expansions, many women of reproductive age still face gaps in care and disparities in birth outcomes. These inequities stem from lack of access created by systemic and social barriers, including discrimination and bias, language differences, and educational and economic inequities.
The Urban Institute, in collaboration with Policies for Action (P4A), a signature research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, invites you to join this robust, solutions-based discussion. Together with researchers, policymakers, advocates, and health care providers, we will explore evidence, experience, and policy considerations to achieve maternal and infant health equity. The ultimate collective goal is to create a future in which reproductive health equity is a reality for families throughout the United States.
This event will be held virtually and in person on Thursday, February 27, 2025, 1:00-4:00 PM.
