2026 Maternal & Infant Health Leadership Series | Earn 1 CNE/NCPD* Contact Hour

Featuring:

• Virginia Voyles Tester, CNM, FNP-C

Description/Objectives:

Prenatal care can be difficult to navigate, especially for refugee and immigrant families encountering a complex healthcare system for the first time. In this webinar, we'll share the story behind the "Peace Project" — a pilot Prenatal Easy Access Clinic™ with Embrace & Ethnē — and why we chose this model of care. We'll reflect on what we've learned in our first year of implementation, including what's working, what's been challenging, and how trust, flexibility and relationships shape better outcomes. This session is for anyone interested in rethinking prenatal care so it truly meets people where they are.

Objectives:

• Identify at least two barriers refugee and immigrant families face in accessing traditional prenatal care

• Describe key elements of a responsive, community-based, easy-access prenatal care model

• Identify one way care models can adapt when insurance coverage or eligibility changes
