Presentation – A Collaborative Effort in Addressing Black Maternal and Infant Health Disparities

Throughout the spring, sorority sisters from Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Inc., Lambda Chapter mentored nursing students from Curtis High School and facilitated a major research initiative around Black Maternal and Infant Health. The Curtis HS nursing students will present their research in a poster board forum. In addition, a panel of guest speakers and community leaders will discuss Black Women and healthcare and advocacy for improved outcomes in their communities.

This is a collaborative instructional effort undertaken by Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Inc., Lambda Chapter and the Curtis High School Nursing Department. Generous support was received from the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, Richard B. Dickenson Staten Island Chapter and the Staten Island Museum.
