Some of our MCH students recently visited and were inspired by the range of family-centered services in action. From nutrition services, behavioral and occupational therapies, and clinical care, each student saw a pathway that aligned with their own professional goals.

We’re grateful for community partners who help our students connect their academic training to the real-world impact.

This Black History Month, learn from Black leaders who reshaped maternal and child health policy and practice, including Margaret Charles Smith and Shirley Chisholm.

Rewinding to last week, where CEMCH joined Newcomb Institute and Mary Amelia Women's Center (MAC) uptown for a night focused on reproductive rights! The event opened with a poster session highlighting student research and internship work in abortion access, maternal health policy, and more. Conceiving Equity culminated in the Roe v. Wade lecture by Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer and leading voice in abortion policy.

Discussing these topics is more important than ever, especially when students shaping the future of reproductive rights and maternal health are part of this dialogue.

November is Native American Heritage Month -- a time to celebrate Indigenous culture. From traditions of midwifery to community initiatives providing culturally competent care, Indigenous expertise has shaped approaches to maternal and child health.

However, it’s also a time to recognize that Native American and Alaska Native voices are left out of maternal and child health research. What are some systemic barriers leading to this issue? How can we ensure Indigenous voices are included?
