DESCRIPTION:Bridget Rochios is a Certified Nurse Midwife and Reproductive Health Nurse 
 Practitioner dedicated to reproductive justice and health equity. Born and 
 raised in the East Bay, she combines her clinical expertise with a passion 
 for social activism, working to improve healthcare access both locally and 
 internationally.\n\nIn May 2024, driven by her commitment to global health 
 and social justice, Bridget volunteered at Emirati Maternity Hospital in 
 Rafah, Gaza. During her month-long mission with the Canadian organization 
 Glia, she provided critical obstetric care alongside local healthcare 
 providers amidst the ongoing genocide. This experience allowed her to 
 witness firsthand the challenges faced by Palestinians and advocate for 
 their healthcare needs.\n\nDr. Jess Ghannam is Clinical Professor of 
 Psychiatry and Global Health Sciences in the School of Medicine at UCSF. 
 His research areas include evaluating the long-term health consequences of 
 war on displaced communities and the psychological and psychiatric effects 
 of armed conflict on children. Dr. Ghannam has developed community health 
 clinics in the Middle East that focus on developing community-based 
 treatment programs for families in crisis.\n
