Nurturely Impact Report 2022 - Flipbook - Page 3
Who we are
“Nurturely is taking a global, interdisciplinary, and inclusive approach in our
collective efforts to improve outcomes for infants and parents. We believe perinatal
equals prevention and that investing in community-supported wellness during this
critical period will prevent inequities later in life. Perinatal health equity should not
be the burden of parents, but rather should be a societal investment that all of us
prioritize. Through education, research, and cultural change, Nurturely is redefining
what perinatal means and making perinatal equity a priority in all sectors. ”
Emily Little, PhD, Founder & Executive Director
