On Demand: Bridging Community and Clinical Approaches ─ Region 7 Maternal Health ECHO® Session 2
Improving maternal health requires solutions shaped by both lived experience and clinical expertise.
On July 28, 2026, Session 2 of the Region 7 Maternal Health ECHO series - Bridging Community and Clinical Approaches - brought together community voices, clinicians and public health leaders to explore how these perspectives could work in tandem. Participants learned practical ways to connect community-based support with clinical care pathways, strengthen trust and ensure that maternal health strategies reflected real needs across Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
