Maternal and Child Health Equity
In 2020, NYAM launched a new initiative focused on maternal and child health equity that includes a 13-member Women’s Health Research & Well-being Workgroup and a virtual summit hosted in partnership with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. Goals include supporting the dissemination of innovative research and advocating for fundamental policy changes at the state and federal level to achieve high-quality, equitable care for women and children.
