Caring for Families: What State Policies Mean for you.
10:15 AM - 11:15 AM Fri
The New Orleans Maternal and Child Health Coalition (NOLA MCH) is an advocacy group made up of over 100 diverse stakeholders in maternal and child health in New Orleans.
Our membership includes researchers, healthcare providers, doulas, individuals employed by local and state government offices, and representatives of community organizations creating public health solutions for and providing direct services to New Orleans families in the perinatal period. We work together to push for and implement the necessary changes that can make New Orleans a place where reproductive justice prevails, and families can safely grow and thrive.
We specifically focus our efforts on the perinatal period, and prioritize dismantling the systems of oppression that put Black folks at higher risk of experiencing poor quality care and adverse perinatal outcomes.
