MSM Center for Maternal Health Equity

We were honored to capture this moment with Dr. Natalie Hernandez-Green and U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( / ) alongside U.S. Representative Nikema Williams () during their visit to Morehouse School of Medicine.
Together, we engaged in critical dialogue around the maternal mortality crisis impacting mothers in Georgia and across the nation—centering the urgent need for equitable, respectful, and accessible care.
At a time when threats to research funding at institutions like the NIH, CDC, and FDA put progress at risk, conversations like these remind us why we must continue to advocate, uplift, and fight for the health and well-being of our communities.
At the Center for Maternal Health Equity, we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring every mother is seen, heard, and supported—through research, advocacy, and action.
