Annual General Membership Meeting

Join the Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern New Jersey for our Annual General Membership Meeting.  It is an opportunity to learn more about our work and network with other supporters.

We are thrilled to welcome physician and novelist Radha Lin Chaddah for a dynamic discussion about her book, And The Ancestors Sing. The novel is a sweeping, multigenerational novel of sacrifice, survival, and the unbreakable pull of home, set against the rapidly changing backdrop of post-Cultural Revolution China.

Radha worked as a primary care physician in Boston, NYC and Beijing; worked with the China CDC to co-write the book, HIV/ AIDS: Beyond the Numbers; and provided mental healthcare to patients in several states as a telemedicine doctor upon settling in Philadelphia. Along the way, Radha developed a deep commitment to patient advocacy, to “meeting the patients where they are” and to combating the stigma around mental health. The conversation will center on her work as a physician and how that experience influenced her novel.
