Info: Maternal health in the United States is at a critical crossroads. Despite advances in medicine, too many mothers continue to experience preventable complications and deaths during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This panel will explore the current realities shaping maternal health today, from policy and public health systems to the lived experiences of patients and frontline providers.

Bringing together a maternal mortality review board founder from the Department of Health, a global health expert, a leading academic researcher, a practicing doula, and a patient voice, this discussion will examine what current data reveals about maternal mortality and morbidity, the structural and clinical factors contributing to disparities in outcomes, and the barriers that still prevent many women from receiving equitable care. Panelists will also reflect on lessons emerging from maternal mortality reviews and community care models.

Info: While the challenges in maternal health are significant, a growing movement of innovators, entrepreneurs, healthcare leaders, and advocates is working to transform how care is delivered to mothers. This panel will spotlight organizations and companies leading new approaches to improving maternal health outcomes and expanding support for families throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Panelists will share how they are developing solutions that address longstanding gaps in care. Together, they will explore how innovation can improve access, quality, and continuity of care for mothers, particularly in communities that have historically faced the greatest barriers. By highlighting emerging ideas and collaborative efforts across sectors, this conversation will look ahead to what the future of maternal health could be and what it will take to build a safer, more equitable systems.
