She was named “Woman of the Year” by the California State Legislature, “Hero in Healthcare” by the Coalition for Excellence in Healthcare, and was awarded the National Community Service Award by Essence Magazine. She is one of the nation’s most successful organizers and motivators in positively confronting issues of health care disparities. Based on her experience with her center in California and with Birthing Projects in many cities in the USA, as well as her study of the preventive medicine system in other countries including Cuba, she will share her thoughts on how we can work towards a caring, responsive community that actively supports the health and well-being of all its members. The holistic health and social service agency which Ms. Hall has developed has become a national model for improving birth outcomes for high-risk women, particularly African-American women and other women of color. In the Milwaukee area, the high rate of infant mortality and related health disparities are major concerns.
