Presented in conjunction with Annals of Health Law & Life Sciences
Confronting the Maternal Health Crisis: Access, Equity and Reform
Friday, October 24, 2025
9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
About the Symposium
This year’s Symposium will explore maternal health care, which continues to be an area of low access and high mortality. Speakers will discuss the gaps in maternal health care infrastructure and expose ways in which care deserts can be eliminated. Additionally, speakers will examine the impact of Medicaid on maternal care, including primary, preventative and postpartum care. The Symposium will highlight the need for change to expand access to quality maternal health care and end the Maternal Health Crisis.
About Annals of Health Law & Life Sciences
Twice yearly (Winter and Summer) the Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy publishes Annals of Health Law & Life Sciences, The Health Policy and Law Review of Loyola University Chicago. Annals contains articles of general interest in health law, which are deemed by the editors to make a contribution to the teaching, practice, and/or public policy surrounding health law. Past volumes have focused on corporate, regulatory, bioethical, and pharmaceutical issues, as well as patient rights and advocacy. Through this publication, health law students are afforded the opportunity to edit a law review article.
Advance Directive is an online publication of Annals of Health Law & Life Sciences, which is also published twice yearly (Fall and Spring). Similar to Annals, Advance Directive publishes articles that provide insight into the divergent areas of health law. Advance Directive allows health law students to write short articles regarding current health law topics, which are often at the crux of debate amongst legislators, practitioners, and academics.
