Health Equity Leadership Series
Addressing Racial Disparities in Maternal Health: A Collaborative Approach with Dr. Lucinda Canty
The Health Equity Leadership Series is a speaker series that welcomes leaders in the fields of nursing and healthcare to share their expertise and engage members of the UM community in critical thinking, learning, and dialogue about topics in health equity. Our goal is to expose UM faculty, staff, students, and alumni to some of the most pressing and relevant topics in health equity and nursing. Attendees will be challenged to learn, unlearn, and expand upon their own views while also networking with leaders who have a demonstrated commitment to advancing equity in healthcare.

Dr. Canty is a mother, nurse, midwife, researcher, nurse educator, historian, reproductive health justice activist, artist, and poet.
