Global Health Alliance invites you to the Maternal & Family Health Equity Collaborative on Saturday, August 15, 2026. The program runs from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Wilder Foundation, 451 Lexington Parkway North, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55104. Vendor setup starts at 1:00 PM.
Connecting Communities. Strengthening Families. Advancing Health Equity.
We present this gathering in partnership with Wilder African American Babies Coalition & Projects. The work is practical. Families, doulas, healthcare providers, health systems, insurers, community organizations, foundations, and policymakers share one room and focus on maternal and family health equity.
Why this day matters
Too many families still face limited access to care, health disparities, language barriers, social and economic challenges, mental health concerns, gaps in postpartum support, and fragmented systems of care. This collaborative names those barriers and asks what we can change together.

- Fathers and caregivers
- Doulas, midwives, nurses, and physicians
- Community health workers
- Public health and mental health professionals
- Health systems and insurers
- Community organizations and foundations

The afternoon includes a community resource fair, educational presentations, storytelling and lived experience panels, networking, partner booths, and family-centered resources.
Tentative agenda highlights:

- Collaborative Solutions Panel
- Call to action
- Raffle and closing
Resource booths open before and after the program. Light refreshments will be available. Food vendors will sell items for purchase.
