Friday, July 31 , the Rotary Club of Atlanta West End is pleased to welcome Adenike McDonald, MPH , Project Coordinator for the Center of Excellence for Maternal Health Research (CORAL), and Nanella "Doula Nan" Haynes, Program Navigator with the Morehouse School of Medicine Center for Maternal Health Equity, as our program speakers.

Adenike is a doctoral candidate in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Georgia whose research focuses on maternal health equity, behavioral health, preconception care, and improving access to care across the reproductive life course. Through community-engaged research and evidence-based interventions, she works to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality while advancing equitable healthcare for women and families.

Joining her is Nanella "Doula Nan" Haynes, a maternal health professional, birth and postpartum doula, and founder of Atlanta Holistic Births. Through her work with Morehouse School of Medicine and direct support for families, she provides compassionate, culturally responsive care while helping parents navigate pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, and newborn care.

Together, Adenike and Nanella combine research, education, and hands-on family support to advance maternal health equity throughout our communities. We look forward to learning how their collaborative work is helping create healthier beginnings and stronger futures for mothers, babies, and families across Georgia.
