EqualHealth is a non-profit organization that builds critical consciousness and collective action globally, in the pursuit of health equity for all.In 2018, Dr. Morse was awarded as a Soros Equality Fellowship working with colleagues to launch EqualHealth’s global Campaign Against Racism.
“Usage of the phrase ‘birthing people’ instead of the traditional ‘mothers’ drew a wave of criticism,” the outlet said. According to the recent Fox report, a DOH spokesperson called Morse’s post an “oversight” then added, “we apologize for inadvertently gendering Black and Puerto Rican birthing people.”
