The third, annual Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Symposium, produced by Drexel’s School of Public Health’s MCH program, will be held on April 13, 2018. This year’s speakers will explore the Social Determinants of Infant Mortality: Partnerships, Innovations, and Community Engagement Solutions. The program will open with a discussion of infant mortality, racial, and ethnic disparities at the national level, followed by an analysis of data on Philadelphia and the community’s response.
