Registration is open for our 20th Annual Education Symposium.
Join healthcare providers, public health professionals, researchers, advocates, and community leaders for a day of learning and connection exploring how lived experience shapes maternal, infant, and child health across generations.

We’ll look at how stories of families, communities, and care can inform practice, influence policy, and push toward systems where every family can thrive.

We’re also honored to welcome Dr. Russell J. Ledet, MD, PhD, MBA, physician-scientist and co-founder of The 15 White Coats. From service in the U.S. Navy to advancing medicine, mental health, and equity, he brings a perspective grounded in both lived experience and science.
If your work touches maternal and child health, we invite you to join us.
