Join us as Bay Area Midwife Bridget Rochios discusses her recent mission to Gaza in conversation with Palestinian-American Psychologist Dr Jess Ghannam.

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.

In 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.
