Note on Inclusion
Our events and initiatives are open to individuals of all backgrounds and identities. “After Birth, Aftercare, Afterthought” is intended for all individuals who work on or are interested in learning more about perinatal health.
Join us for a real conversation and live video podcast on maternal health after childbirth, during the fourth trimester.
On the evening of May 4, 2026, join The Greater New York Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, AmeriHealth Caritas, the NYU McSilver Institute, and our community partners for the live recording of a new video podcast: After Birth, Aftercare, Afterthought: The Fourth Trimester.
The podcast will explore the transformative months following childbirth—a period often overlooked, but essential for the long-term well-being of both parent and baby. We will focus on topics such as: physical recovery, warning signs, mental health, life and role adjustment, community-based programs, and policy, as well as personal and family advocacy during hospitalization and beyond. Our host will be Award-Winning Journalist, Julee Wilson.
We are bringing together a distinguished group of speakers from around the country — maternal health experts, advocates, individuals with lived experience, and policymakers — to identify solutions and strategies for better support systems during this vulnerable stage.
Space is limited. Please RSVP on Eventbrite to attend.
