Guest SPEAKER

Charles Johnson

In 2016, our founder, Charles Johnson, lost his wife, Kira, during a routine C-section at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California. He founded 4Kira4Moms in 2017 as a response to his experience, to be a voice for other mothers and families facing unnecessary maternal loss and putting an end to the maternal mortality health crisis.

Charles Johnson worked relentlessly with Congress to pass the Preventing Maternal Death Act (H.R.1318). This milestone legislation is the first ever to combat the maternal death crisis in the United States. The bill was signed into law on December 21, 2018, and dedicated to the memory of Kira Dixon Johnson.
