We are proud to announce our rescheduled gala in honor of Molly, Scott, Heidi and Erik – true champions of maternal health and families around the world.
Join us as we (finally!) celebrate our remarkable honorees and Jhpiego’s transformative work ensuring that where a woman lives does not determine if she lives.
Our event will take place on June 10th in-person at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel if conditions around COVID-19 have improved and large groups are able to gather safely. If we are unable to ensure the health and safety of our honorees and guests, our event will be held virtually. Please stay tuned for those details in the months to come.

VISIONARY AWARD HONOREES
Heidi and Erik Murkoff
It all started with a baby and a book. Heidi Murkoff conceived the idea for What to Expect When You’re Expecting during her first pregnancy, when she couldn’t find answers in the books she turned to for much-needed advice.
Hours before delivering her daughter, Emma, Heidi delivered the proposal for a pregnancy guide that would help other expectant parents sleep better at night. She was a mom on a mission—a mission that was only getting started. Dubbed the “pregnancy bible,” What to Expect When You’re Expecting, now in its 5th edition, has sold 22 million copies and is the longest-running title of all time on The New York Times bestseller list. Along with What to Expect the First Year, Eating Well When You’re Expecting, What to Expect Before You’re Expecting, and What to Expect the Second Year, theWhat to Expect (WTE) series has sold more than 42 million copies and is published in 38 countries and in 34 languages.
