A revered speaker for Symposia Medicus, Dr. Cornelia Graves is an extensively published and nationally recognized expert in the field of maternal-fetal medicine. With the ever-present knowledge that the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed country in the world—and that women of color experience the worst of these birth outcomes—Dr. Graves has dedicated her career to making antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care safer for pregnant women and new mothers.
In February, WSMV News4 Nashville featured Dr. Graves in a segment celebrating African-Americans from the community who are pushing for change within their industries.
