‍Cultivating Connections: Partnering to Improve Nutrition in and after Pregnancy

Join us on Wednesday, July 16, at 3:30 p.m. ET for the Hunger Nutrition and Health Action Collaborative Monthly Webinar Series. Connect with partners across the US dedicated to ending hunger and building healthy communities. This webinar will highlight successful strategies, food and nutrition system changes, multisector partnerships, and community-building efforts.

During this month’s partner call, you will learn about the importance of good nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy and hear about an Action Network that is working to catalyze engagement across sectors and drive impact through partnerships.

Our panelists include Kent L. Thornburg from the Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) Moore Institute for Nutrition & Wellness, Anna Corona-Romero from the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP), and Krista Lumpkins-Howard from Birthing Beautiful Communities in Ohio.
