2019 CityMatCH Maternal and Child Health Leadership Conference
Make Waves: Intentional disruption to advance health equity
We're excited to share that CityMatCH will make its way to Providence, RI for the 2019 CityMatCH Maternal and Child Health Leadership Conference, Sept. 23-25, 2019! This year will feature a unique twist, as the national organization partners with the Rhode Island Department of Health's annual Health Equity Summit.
Health Equity is a core value elevated at every CityMatCH conference. This year, CityMatCH will intentionally spend an entire day showcasing how communities nationwide are prioritizing health equity to build healthier, more resilient, and more just communities.
We invite you to join us and learn how local maternal and child health (MCH) leaders are:
- Purposefully bringing the equity and justice lens to the forefront of every conversation.
- Persistently leveraging community voice and science and data to uncover issues of injustice and equip us in our pursuit of health equity.
- Unwaveringly pursuing leadership strategies and practices that combine the power of local communities with a national MCH network to advance equity and justice.
Accepting Abstracts Dec. 17 - March 1
CityMatCH welcomes and encourages submissions on a variety of topics as they relate to maternal and child health, including maternal mortality, fatherhood, equity, structural racism, immigration, underrepresented populations, emergency preparedness, social determinants of health, and so many more!
