Joia Adele Crear-Perry, MD, FACOG and Diana Rauner, Ph.D.
Human Rights & Better Health Outcomes
The United States continues to report the highest rates of maternal mortality for birth parents when compared to 10 similarly wealthy countries – many of these deaths are preventable. The reality is that systemic racism and inequity contribute greatly to higher rates of maternal death among Black women. Nationally recognized as a voice on perinatal equity, Joia Adele Crear-Perry, MD, FACOG, will discuss the impact of social determinants and human rights on health outcomes for mothers and babies.
