About this Event

Join us on Thursday, April 16, 2026, for the 5th Annual Maternal Health Summit: Before the Bump & Beyond – Building Resilient Families and Communities. This event brings together healthcare professionals, advocates, community leaders, and families to explore the disparities impacting maternal health outcomes and highlight collaborative solutions already underway to drive meaningful, sustainable change in our community.

The summit will feature engaging discussions, facilitated breakout sessions, shared expertise, and opportunities for community partnership to help educate, empower, and mobilize attendees.

Featured speakers leading sessions include, Patricia Campbell, Director of the Maternal Health Infant Initiative at March of Dimes; Rebecca Severin, Co-Founder and Operations Director of RJ Squared; and Juan Irby, Founder of Dad to Dudla.

Also part of the summit is the Salome Taylor Luncheon, highlighted by a keynote address from Dr. Khadijia Tribié Reid, MD, MPH, FAAP, and Board Member of The Endowment. During the luncheon, the Salome Taylor Trailblazer Leadership Award will be presented to Frankie Roberts, Co-Founder and Executive Director of LINC, and Louise Coggins, Chair of the Board of Directors for Lift Up the Vulnerable, in recognition of their leadership in advancing equitable and inclusive communities in healthcare and beyond.

We welcome attendees, vendors, and sponsors who are committed to supporting maternal and family health.
