Every year, BMHC brings Black birthers and their families, birthworkers, health experts, researchers, students, community members, and change agents to learn about the current work to improve the Black maternal health crisis in the United States. There is an urgency to disrupt the status quo in maternal health. We seek to raise awareness, inspire activism, and encourage community building. Participants leave educated, inspired, and equipped to continue the fight for Black maternal health equity.

The goal of the Annual Conference is to:

• Identify how health professionals can improve the Black maternal health experience.?
• Understand the role that bias and systemic racism play in causing adverse maternal health outcomes for Black birthing people in the U.S.
  
• Facilitate conversations between health professionals and the community at large on ways to become advocates and improve Black maternal healthcare.
