spotlight header blue background yellow test heat and the adverse impacts on maternal health

Everyone is at risk of adverse health outcomes due to heat, but the risk is especially dangerous for pregnant people. Heatwaves have been linked to an increased risk of preterm and early term births and there is a growing division in birth outcomes by race and ethnicity. Join Rupa Basu for a conversation on adverse birth outcomes nationally and in the California. 

This event will be virtual.
