Event Leads:
NYC DOHMH Family Wellness Suite: A safe, welcoming and supportive space for birthing people and their families to connect to community resources and city agency services for support.
Neighborhood Health Action Centers: The NYC Health Department's Neighborhood Health Action Centers in Brownsville, East Harlem, and Tremont provide a variety of resources and programs to serve residents’ health needs. These neighborhood assets bring together health care providers, New York City agencies, and community-based organizations and programs under one roof. The Action Centers make connecting to programs and services more efficient by providing a one-stop shop for community residents. They also provide community groups with space for community organizing and planning.
#BMHW26 theme:
“Rooted in Justice & Joy”
We honor the power of our collective movement, nurturing thriving families and shaping a liberated future rooted in justice, healing, and joy. This reflects the strength and resilience of Black-led perinatal, maternal, and reproductive health organizations that have cultivated change and healing across communities. It acknowledges the enduring legacies of systemic oppression, reproductive injustices, and health inequities that continue to impact Black Mamas and birthing people; while calling for a liberated future rooted in restoration, justice, and joy.
