Thursday, December 10, 2026
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
One of the highlights in HPIO’s 2026 Health Value Dashboard is that policy action is leading to improvements in child well-being. But challenges remain, particularly for Ohio infants and their mothers.
Maternal and infant health outcomes are shaped by access to affordable, quality healthcare and the social and economic conditions in which families live. Persistent disparities, rising healthcare costs and gaps in maternity care access underscore the need for effective policies that reach the families and communities who need them most.
This webinar will explore findings from HPIO’s upcoming data brief on maternal and infant health, examine Ohio policy developments affecting pregnant women, infants and families; and identify opportunities for further action to advance maternal and infant health in Ohio.
Speakers:
- Lexi Chirakos, Policy and Data Management Specialist, Health Policy Institute of Ohio
- Lynanne Gutierrez, President and CEO, Groundwork Ohio
- Candice Novak Sabers, Vice President of Health Policy and Advocacy, bi3
