Provider Trainings & Events

The Maternal Health Network is committed to equipping the maternal health system with a sufficient workforce to meet community needs in a culturally competent fashion. As such it provides MHN sponsored trainings at least twice a year. It also searches for and publishes other training options that members may be interested in accessing. Lastly, it has compiled a list of trainers that have been recommended by members for providing high quality instruction.
