ABOUT EVERY MOTHER COUNTS
Every Mother Counts ("EMC") envisions a world where pregnancy and childbirth are positive, transformational experiences. A world where everyone can access quality maternity care that centers mothers, and no one suffers or dies of preventable complications. A world where every mother truly counts.Every two minutes, a woman dies from complications of pregnancy and childbirth-that's more than 800 preventable deaths every day around the world. Motivated by the intrinsic human right to maternal health, Every Mother Counts is dedicated to ensuring that all people, everywhere, experience a safe, respectful, and equitable journey through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. We started by spotlighting stories told by those closest to the issue. Over time, these personal accounts have shone a spotlight on the global imperative to transform maternal health. Since 2010, EMC has invested tens of millions of dollars to advance system-wide change through the development of professional, dedicated, and compassionate providers in every setting who are focused on respectful care that centers mothers. In addition to investments in community-led models of care, EMC is committed to diversifying the healthcare workforce and mobilizing for change through policy and advocacy efforts. Through collaboration with key policymakers, practitioners, and community members, the team identifies priority maternal health issues and advocates for change. EMC's program and policy efforts are complemented by our compelling storytelling, which is at the core of the organization's founding.

EQUITY AT EMC EMC is an Equal Opportunity Employer. EMC is committed to tackling issues affecting maternal health outcomes, which disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and people from other historically marginalized communities.

Given this commitment and the dynamics of the maternal health crisis, we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
