We are very excited that Jacq will be speaking during Black Maternal Health Week next month as a member of the Anemia Community Leadership Group CAB!
Jacq has had the privilege of working on this project since 2022, supporting the BLACK Wellness and Prosperity Center in Fresno, CA in this meaningful work to create protocols that support increased testing and resource navigation for birthing persons diagnosed with anemia in pregnancy.
