Jamie Agunsday is a Master’s prepared Registered Nurse who has spent the last decade serving women and birthing families in New Jersey. As a Labor and Delivery nurse in one of NJ’s busiest birthing hospitals, Jamie was deeply impacted by seeing women and people giving birth experience serious pregnancy related complications. For the last 4.5 years, Jamie has worked to support the review of maternal deaths as a Maternal Mortality Nurse Abstractor and Program Coordinator, where she tells the stories of those who died from complications of their pregnancies.

Jamie has a long history of advocacy and is involved extensively in her professional organization, AWHONN, on the state and national level. Jamie’s work crosses sectors into the arenas of public health, the healthcare industry, education, and patient advocacy. Through her efforts, Jamie seeks to center the voices and amplify the stories of those most impacted by adverse outcomes as a means to making meaningful improvements in the health of all people giving birth.
