About this Event
About our birthday host, Kathleen Dowd, and her foundation:
Kathleen has been a midwife for 30 years in the greater Bay Area and has worked in many settings, including hospitals, out of hospital birth centers, and community settings. While serving as President of California Nurse-Midwives Association, she negotiated new legislation to remove barriers to midwifery in California. She continues her work to ensure all individuals have access to midwifery care as a way to improve reproductive and maternal health in the state.
In 2019, she founded the and she is currently Chair of the Board. The Foundaiton raises funds to improve maternal and newborn outcomes and improve access to high quality maternity care, while addressing inequities in care for People of Color and under-resourced individuals and communities. In our nation and our state, Black and Indigenous people are 3-4 times more likely to die than white woman in relation to pregnancy and childbirth. The Foundation is addressing this with many programs, such as supporting aspiring and current midwifery students of color and advocating to uplift people of color and those doing innovative work to change our current systems and institutions.
