OVERVIEW

2021 Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) Annual Conference is organized by Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) and will be held from May 24 - 27, 2021.

Theme: Global Meets Local: A Global Approach for Local Outcomes.

What excites us about this year’s theme? The opportunity to…
• Explore how we in maternal and child health (MCH) are connected across the globe and through history
• Blur the lines of our borders and take a global perspective to better understand the origins of the systems and policies influencing health outcomes in the United States
• Find inspiration and partnership in the innovations of countries and geographic areas fighting for health equity and wrestling with complex challenges that greatly impact the health of women, children, youth, families and communities
• Value and uplift community expertise and cultural diversity in public health practice
• Celebrate and place ourselves within movements for social justice and active resistance against systems/structures of oppression
• Consider the work of United States MCH leaders as part of a global community committed to optimal health and wellbeing for all and create a space for collaborative, transnational learning in MCH
