Founded in 2017, GAIN is a women- and nurse-led program making significant strides in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality through nursing education and mentorship worldwide.

Led by member, Kim Baltzell PhD, MS, RN, GAIN operates in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Malawi, and Memphis, Tennessee, with a mission to prevent complications and maternal and infant deaths during childbirth. This is achieved by increasing the number of nurses and midwives and providing clinical and leadership training to those working in high-risk communities.
