Dr. Crear-Perry, founder and president of the National Birth Equity Collaborative, will deliver an address, "Birth Equity and Maternal Health: Where Do We Stand?", then moderate a panel discussion about collective investments to improve maternal health. Joining her on the panel will be Johnson; Dr. Manda Hall, associate commissioner of the Community Health Improvement Division in the Texas Department of State Health Services; and Janet Jones, the lead public health education specialist for the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District in Texas.
