Eradicating the Black Maternal Health Crisis One Birth at a Time | 2021 Concordia Annual Summit
Speaker:
Rachel Nicks
There is a domestic maternal wellbeing crisis in America and it is driven by racial inequality and system failure. Black people are 12 times more likely to die during birth than white people in New York City, and the numbers across the United States reflect similar disparities. American medical practices perpetuate legacies of racial health gaps and mistreatment, influencing also global trends and the exportation of global health policy. This flashpoint features Rachel Nicks, Founder of Birth Queen, trained doula, and maternal health advocate, for an honest discussion about how the U.S. can best address this health crisis head on.
Concordia is the leading public-private sector convener, with the Annual Summit one of the most important global gatherings of C-suite executives, heads of state, government officials, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs.
