Making Change Happen with the Consumer as the Center of the Team

This presentation will address the maternity care crisis through the consumer voice and the need for unity around the common purpose of improving maternity care.

In just two short years, ImprovingBirth.org has grown into a powerful consumer voice with thousands of volunteers and followers across the country. Come hear what consumers are already doing to bring about change and why we know they are the answer to the problem.

As of 2015, Midwives for Haiti has graduated nearly 100 Skilled Birth Attendants.
