The Midwest demonstrates some of the worst - and the best - maternal infant health outcomes in the nation! What accounts for socially devastating gaps, and how do some communities bridge them ?

Meet national and local experts and practitioners sharing maternal and infant care models that work !
Meet researchers connecting crucial health care dots!
Help build broad ownership of birth outcomes at the individual, organizational, and system levels!
Hear how professional equality with collaborative health care communities promotes equality in birth outcomes!
