Willis & Friends is a monthly webseries on early relational health.
About this event
The COVID pandemic has highlighted ongoing and long-standing racial inequities in maternal and child health care and financing, as well as the lack of systematic and widespread approaches for the prevention and promotion efforts in ensuring the future wellbeing of U.S. children and youth. Our U.S. populations fare substantially less well than those in other advanced countries in maternal, infant and child mortality, and child development and mental health despite the science and understandings to make change. These facts call for major transformations of maternal and child health systems, its financing, and its engagement with families. Former Governor John Kitzhaber, MD, Kay Johnson, and Karen Howard will join David Willis, MD, this month for a reflective and inspiring conversation about opportunities now available due to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the potential of the Build Back Better legislation, and how states and local communities can seize upon these opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of children, families, and communities.
