MFHS honors the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus a 2026 Annual Community Luncheon

Maternal and Family Health Services hosted its annual Community Luncheon on Oct. 27 at The Banks in Pittston. This year’s event was a celebration of state leaders’ passion for women’s health and commitment to improving maternal health outcomes in Pennsylvania.

The signature event brought together community leaders, health care providers, partners and supporters in northeastern Pennsylvania to celebrate shared achievements, highlight the work of MFHS, recognize outstanding contributions and raise vital support for ongoing programs.

The 2026 Outstanding Public Service Award was presented to the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus, co-chaired by state Reps. Morgan Cephas, D-Philadelphia; Gina H. Curry, D-Delaware; and La’Tasha D. Mayes, D-Allegheny. The caucus was recognized for its exemplary advocacy and impact in women’s health across the Commonwealth.

The Outstanding Public Service Award is presented annually by MFHS to a champion for women, children and families who works in public service to advocate for programs that are proven to make a positive difference, and who demonstrates exceptional leadership in advancing health equity and positive outcomes for people in the communities MFHS serves.
