Attention CABPES students, parents, partners - and especially alumni - please join us on May 3rd as CABPES makes an historic announcement about its future!

Black Maternal Health Week (April 11–17, 2026) highlights the urgent reality that Black women across the United States face significantly higher maternal health risks.

Community organizations and healthcare advocates are actively working to address these disparities through education, advocacy, and improved access to care—but sustained support is critical.

When we invest in these efforts, we help create healthier families and stronger, more resilient communities.
