Mayor Muriel Bowser's Maternal & Infant Health Initiative September 15 to 16, 2021

The 4th Annual Maternal & Infant Health Summit aims to build on the growing public awareness and interest of this important issue and the District’s continued approach to ensure the health of women, infants, and families. The 2021 Summit will address the changes that have taken place in DC in support of birthing people, families, and babies, as well as District residents at large, the importance of inclusivity in health, and resources that support the wellness of new moms and infants.

Given the desire for connectivity in years past (and stay-at-home orders being in place during last year’s event), this year we are working to create spaces for those with common identities and experiences in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Community Affairs offices and community-based organizations. We will have community spaces for those identifying with any of the following groups: those who’ve experienced perinatal loss; LGBTQ+ families; teen/young parents; grandparents and older caregivers; families with disabilities; and fathers.
