ForwardHerbert H. Greene, M.D., Annual Commemoration: Maternal Health Inequities
Despite the ambition to end preventable maternal deaths by 2030, the world will fall short of this target by more than 1 million lives with the current pace of progress. According to the WHO, almost all global maternal deaths can be prevented by ensuring that women have access to quality, respectful and equitable maternity care.
Join us as at this fourth annual tribute to Dr. Greene as we advance health equity at Baptist Health South Florida. We will explore barriers in the healthcare system that increase health inequities. Both health professionals and the healthcare system can contribute to reducing these inequities by considering them at the individual and structural levels, with the aim of contributing to changes favoring their reduction, thereby helping to achieve health equity.
About Herbert H. Greene, M.D.
When Herbert H. Greene joined Baptist Hospital’s Emergency Department on May 27, 1964, he was a pioneer –– not only the first Black physician in the hospital, but also the first south of Flagler Street.
In 2021, Baptist Health’s Board of Trustees designated May 27 as a day to reflect and recommit to the professional and humanitarian values that Dr. Greene personified.
Every year at the Herbert H. Greene, M.D., commemoration program, we remind ourselves of all that he accomplished and of all the unfinished work that remains. Dr. Greene's enduring impact is his influence on our culture. The lives he touched as a physician and the hearts and minds he opened as a healer and colleague provide an everlasting cornerstone of our organization and purpose.
