Join us as experts in maternal health explore together why U.S. maternal deaths have been increasing for two decades, the fact that women of color are overrepresented among these women and the interventions that can reverse these trend lines. After an introduction by President Katherine Rowe and a keynote address by Virginia first lady Pamela Northam, hear from experts in the field in a panel moderated by Rachel Becker ’19, policy advisor to the secretary of health and human resources. Panelists include W&M Professor Claire McKinney; Dr. Camille Hammond, CEO of the Cade Foundation; Kelly Cannon ’05, senior director for Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association; and Dr. Vanessa Walker Harris, deputy secretary of health and human resources for Virginia.
