We were truly honored to welcome Dr. Sean Blackwell from the Department of OB/GYN & Reproductive Sciences at McGovern Medical School, UTHealth, as our keynote speaker at this year’s Annual Luncheon. Dr. Blackwell’s pioneering work in maternal-fetal medicine, including his research on preterm birth, pregnancy complications related to obesity, and improving outcomes for mothers and babies, provided invaluable insights and inspired meaningful conversation among everyone in attendance.
We are also deeply grateful to our Luncheon Chair, Dr. Alice Mao Brams. Her dedication to child and adolescent psychiatry, particularly her work in autism and developmental disorders, advocacy for families, and support for youth transitioning into adulthood, brought heart, vision, and care to the event. Last but not least, Mom Patience Thatchamon Zheng, our incredible patient, for believing in the work we do at HOPE Clinic — your trust and support mean the world to us.
Thank you to all who joined us - together we celebrated, connected, and honored the incredible contributions happening in our community.
