Paige Jackson
Vice-President of External Relations
Abide Women’s Health Services

Paige Y. Jackson is a mother, midwife, and Black Maternal-Infant Health Advocate committed to bringing historical awareness to and discussing present solutions for the Black Maternal Health Crisis in the United States. Paige is a proud native of Little Rock, Arkansas, and the great great granddaughter of Henrietta Harris, a lay midwife who practiced in the Little Rock area for 30-plus years.  

Her drive to see the eradication of this crisis is personal and her perspective is unique as she has seen this crisis from many sides. As a hospital employee who worked for 10 yrs on labor/delivery, mother/baby, NICU/PICU, then as a patient/parent navigating the maternal healthcare, WIC, and Medicaid systems during the premature birth and subsequent loss of her daughter Sydney Rachel, then now as a out of hospital birth worker helping to educate families on their rights/options surrounding childbearing.  

Paige is currently the Vice President of Clinical Services at Abide Women’s Health Service, a non-profit located in Sunny South Dallas. Abide exists to improve outcomes in communities with the lowest quality of care by providing low cost/donation based prenatal/postpartum care and other complementary services to families of Dallas County.
