My Current Work

Kameron is joining the Women’s and Infant Health team as the Reproductive and Maternal Health Program Analyst. Kameron’s role will focus on AMCHP’s partnership with Merck for Mothers to support the Safer Childbirth Cities Initiative and celebrate the work of the 20 city-based grantees building safer, more equitable places to birth. Her focus on the Safer Childbirth Cities Initiative will be on the Community of Practice, balanced with deep respect and authentic engagement of community-rooted birth justice organizations.
