Seal of Perinatal Equity
Seal of Perinatal Equity
Building a Network of Equity-Centered Individuals & Organizations
The purpose of the Seal of Perinatal Equity is to help people find birthworkers, healthcare providers, and organizations who are actively committed to the work of tackling racism and anti-Blackness. The Seal of Perinatal Equity shows commitment to the work – it is not a certification that is “finished” but rather an indication to fellow providers and patients/clients that you are working toward care that is unbiased, antiracist, and culturally inclusive. All professionals must re-apply annually to keep their demonstrated commitment to transparency, training, representation, and accountability current and active.

Transparency
Ensure that all patients and clients understand your alignment with perinatal equity

She is currently in practice at Santa Clara County Valley Medical Center while also serving as a Champion Provider Fellow Mentor at the University of California San Fransisco and as an affiliated Clinical Instructor at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.
Dr. Cammon is passionate about helping families thrive by improving their health through healthy lifestyle changes, especially by being active in nature. And she is the Pediatric Director of JUNTOS, a Park Prescription initiative that was developed in collaboration with the Santa Clara County Public Health Department. JUNTOS is a Spanish word meaning “together”, and the program is designed to connect medical providers with high-risk patient families in an effort to improve health equity by eliminating barriers to park access. Through JUNTOS, providers and families come together to develop a community culture based on being active in and connected to nature. She is currently working to expand this work to a larger population of families in her community through the development of a Santa Clara County Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights. This Bill of Rights will be used as a lever to implement policy and systems-level changes to address social inequities and increase access to green spaces for all children and families.
