WOW! What a weekend!

We are SO GRATEFUL to everyone who attended and/or supported Kybele's 25th Anniversary Celebration Event "Meet the MOMent" on Saturday evening in Winston-Salem. It was a beautiful tribute to the life-saving and compassionate care work being done around the world for mothers and babies and to the vision and dedication of founder, OB Anesthesiologist, Dr. Medge Owen who recently retired from clinical work at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Wake Forest School of Medicine Anesthesiology.

Over 160 guests were introduced to "innovation stations" showcasing Kybele's most recent work in The Balkans and Ghana as well as life-saving products being scaled on a national level. Attendees also got a glimpse of Kybele's newest program launching in 2026 in Mozambique. Guest speakers from Ghana and Serbia as well as team leaders and board members spoke about the impact of Kybele's work in their home countries and in their professional careers.

An entertaining and informative keynote address given by Kybele Co-Executive Director, Tom Newton-Lewis, highlighted the current state of global affairs effecting newborn and maternal mortality, the unique position Kybele plays and the importance (now more than ever) of supporting the work. Dr. Laura Dean a long-time Kybele supporter and colleague gave a heartwarming tribute to Dr. Owen.

Amidst the beautiful decor of the Pilot View Center, guests also dined on a generous amount of wonderful food, drinks, and dessert while bidding on a wide array of donated silent auction items. Guests were perusing Kybele historical displays and meeting old and new friends who have been touched by Kybele and Dr. Owen over the past several decades.

This lovely reunion of Kybele family and friends culminated in a final light tribute not only to Dr. Owen, but to all our mothers and children and the need to press on with this vital work.

Many thanks to all our sponsors, ticket buyers, silent auction donors, silent auction bidders, special guests, volunteers, staff and friends for making this a night to remember.

We anxiously await the professional photos from our photographers which we will share here soon.

Thank you again for your support. www.kybeleworldwide.org

Knowledge shared = knowledge squared.

The Kybele 2026 Board & Staff Leadership Retreat is currently underway in Winston-Salem, NC. This annual gathering of medical, analytical and creative minds is essential to the growth and direction of Kybele in ever-changing times.

Kybele leaders from all over the globe including Ghana, Serbia, US, and UK are spending the next few days in (chilly) NC looking at data, discussing current & future programs, and how to position Kybele as an important voice and change-maker in global maternal and neonatal healthcare.

Special thanks to Lyndhurst Gynecologic Associates for pivoting in this snowy weather to open up your beautiful facility to the Kybele team to have this meeting when our other option(s) changed at the last minute.

2026 is Kybele's 25th Anniversary year and we are exited to be mapping out the next phase of growth.
