Advancing Maternal Health

A Virtual Symposium on Cross-Sector Collaboration to Improve Access and Outcomes

Join CHCANYS on June 27, 2025, for a dynamic virtual Maternal Health Symposium, designed to equip health center staff with the knowledge, skills and strategies needed to enhance maternal health care delivery, strengthen data collection efforts and implement sustainable, evidence-informed models of care. The symposium will create an interactive space where community health center (CHC) professionals, state and local health officials, community organizations, and individuals with firsthand knowledge can collaborate to advance maternal health by identifying and addressing the systemic gaps that hinder access to quality care.

CHCANYS has curated a phenomenal lineup of speakers, who will highlight how they have leveraged data-driven strategies, clinical innovations and partnerships to advance maternal health initiatives. Attendees will gain knowledge and learn about replicable tools and strategies that can be leveraged to:

Strengthen their capacity-building to improve maternal health outcomes within the primary care setting through optimal screening protocols and implementation of evidence-informed practices.

Optimize promising practices and innovative models of care as illuminated among community health center partners and key stakeholders.

Build cross-sector collaborations and leverage outcome-driven strategies that will empower organizations to adopt sustainable maternal health interventions.
