Power of MoMMAs Voices

“We should really talk about these things"

MoMMAs Voices

“There needed to be a space; a safe space for people to go in… so we’re
really proud that that space came out of this in Lincoln’s honor.” Alexis LaVacca started her pregnancy journey like every mom – looking forward to the next steps in her life. Tragically, early-onset preeclampsia transformed that journey from one of excitement to a story of premature birth, a month-long NICU stay, and the heartwrenching loss of her sweet baby Lincoln. In honor of October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, join our “Power of MoMMAs Voices” podcast as Alexis shares her story and honors Lincoln through the work she does as a maternal health advocate in her community in Long Island, NY.

About MoMMAs Voices
MoMMAs Voices (Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Advocates) is the first-ever maternal health patient advocates program bringing together real patient and family voices. We're made up of dozens of maternal health organizations who represent all types of maternal health conditions, as well as cross-cutting topics like maternal mental health, racial equity, healthcare delivery, and patient-provider partnership. We sit at the center of maternal health improvements, connecting and training patients with lived experiences, providers, quality improvement leaders, researchers, and policymakers to move forward improvements in maternal care. We are a program of the Preeclampsia Foundation.
