Join Dr. Oye Owolewa in Southeast DC for a community conversation featuring nurses from Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center and MedStar Washington Hospital Center, alongside public health experts and residents from across the District. As federal attacks on Medicaid collide with local budget cuts that have stripped care from thousands, this convening will examine holistic solutions to maternal health disparities, overdoses, clinic closures, and rising medical costs. This is a space to listen to frontline providers, share expertise, and build a path forward toward a health system that treats care as a human right—especially East of the River.
