Event Background

The 2025 Black Maternal Health Conference will take place on Sunday, April 13th from 10 am to 6 pm at Pellissippi State Community College Magnolia Campus and is open to the public. The theme of this year’s event is, “Reimagining Maternal Health & Reproductive Justice: Innovation, Strategy & Collaboration.

Now in its third year, the Black Maternal Health Conference brings together local researchers, birth workers, holistic practitioners, business owners, healthcare providers, advocates, activists, and professionals focused on maternal health, family studies, and wellness across the United States.

NEW THIS YEAR: The 2025 conference will introduce a Paternal Health & Fatherhood Track, specifically designed for fathers, aspiring fathers, male leaders, and youth. This addition highlights the importance of paternal health and fatherhood while offering education, interactive sessions, art, and community engagement.
