Women & Infants Outstanding Advocate for 2022-2023
The Women & Infants Outstanding Advocate Award has only been awarded a few times throughout NYSPA’s 35 year history due to its significance. It is awarded to recognize the unique and exceptional actions by an individual to protect women’s health, reproductive rights, women’s and infants’ health care, health care access, and/or improving systems of care.
Through unanimous decision of the NYSPA Board of Directors, Governor Hochul is being recognized for her assuring women’s reproductive rights through access to abortion services, increasing access to contraceptive options for marginalized populations by allowing pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraception, expanding Medicaid postpartum coverage to one year and her advancement of NY’s Maternal Mortality initiatives. Through these actions, Governor Hochul has placed New York as a leading state for assuring women’s reproductive rights.
NYSPA presented the award to the Governor during the Annual Awards Luncheon at the 2023 Annual Perinatal Partnership Conference “Hot Topics in Perinatal and Infant Care Continuum: Integrating Evidenced-based Practices with Cultural Humility” held June 8-9, 2023 at the Hilton Hotel, in Albany.
