Maternal Health Summit for Title X Staff: Opportunities to Strengthen Health Systems and Provide Preventive Health Services and Supports
Registration for this event is now closed.
The RHNTC invites Title X staff from grantee and subrecipient agencies to join us for the Maternal Health Summit for Title X Staff: Opportunities to Strengthen Health Systems and Provide Preventive Health Services and Supports on September 24 and 25, 2024 in Washington, D.C.
Over 1.5 days, attendees will participate in interactive sessions designed to mobilize and equip Title X organizations to address maternal morbidity and mortality within their agencies and communities. Participants will work together to identify opportunities, strategies, and actions to increase awareness and understanding; and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality and disparities in maternal health1 outcomes.
Summit Objectives
By the end of the summit, participants will be able to:
- Understand disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes, and how social and structural determinants influence disparities in access to care and health outcomes
- Explain the upstream role of Title X agencies in addressing maternal health by increasing access to preventive health services and supports
- Identify and apply actions Title X agencies can take to support maternal health outcomes in the communities they serve
- Identify resources to support Title X agencies, staff, and providers in delivering quality preconception health, maternal morbidity and mortality prevention, fertility, and infertility prevention services
Attendees
We welcome staff from Title X grantee and subrecipient agencies2 to attend the Maternal Health Summit. We encourage two staff per agency to attend the summit to support follow-up information sharing and action planning. The convening is intended for Title X directors/administrators, program managers, clinical leadership (e.g., medical directors, nurse consultants, clinical consultants), training directors, quality improvement directors, and strategic communication staff.
Registration is limited to the first 50 registrants and will be capped at two staff per agency. The RHNTC will confirm that each registrant is a Title X grantee or subrecipient before accepting their registration. If you have concerns about the cap of two staff per agency, please email rhntc@jsi.com.

The RHNTC will provide a $1,000 fixed travel expense reimbursement for up to 2 individuals per agency to defray expenses associated with attendance. All fixed travel expense reimbursements will be paid to the grantee or subrecipient agency, not to individual attendees.
