Radically Reimaging Women’s Health Series: Celebrating Black Maternal Health Panel Discussion

Wednesday, April 17, 2024
10:00 - 11:30 AM 
at The Blake Annex, 1 Steuben Place, Albany, NY

As we honor the beauty and joy of birth, we must also address the inexcusably high percentage of maternal deaths and complications, particularly among BIPOC women, highlighting broader failures in U.S. women’s healthcare.

Join us for the second session of the Radically Reimagining Women’s Health in the Greater Capital Region series, where our esteemed panel of women health leaders will illuminate how their advocacy is reshaping maternal health services. They'll discuss the impact on BIPOC mothers, birthing individuals, and their babies.

Panelists:

Angela Antonikowski, PhD, MA
Associate Dean, Division of Community Outreach & Medical Education, Office of Medical Education, Albany Medical College

Coretta Killikelly, DNP (c), MSN, RN
Founder and Executive Officer, CEK RN Consulting

Esther Patterson, Doula
Board Member and Co-Chair, Birthnet

Moderated by:

Yolanda Kirby, CPH-FP, BSN

Light refreshments will be served.
