What could be more important than Maternal Health? As a Public Health concern, we are in a time when marginalized, racialized and immigrant communities are being deeply impacted by social, political, and healthcare inequities. In Brooklyn, a mother’s race can determine her chances of surviving childbirth, and the stakes are higher here than almost anywhere else in New York City. We have several Academic Partners addressing this concern in different ways. We hope that you will join us.
We are excited to invite you to an upcoming Information Session at the SUNY Downstate School of Public Health.
Join us to learn more about our program, curriculum, and the unique opportunities we offer to prepare the next generation of public health leaders.
