Dr. Felicia Stewart, one of ANSIRH’s two founders, worked tirelessly to advance reproductive health over her three decades in the field. She is remembered by her friends and colleagues as a fearless leader and advocate for compassionate, evidence-based reproductive health care.

In her honor, ANSIRH and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP) have created the Stewart Center East, in Washington, DC, and the Stewart Center West, located in Oakland, California, in new office space shared by the ANSIRH program, the University of California San Francisco’s Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment, and ARHP’s west coast satellite office. Both Centers will provide community meeting space at no cost for reproductive health and rights work.

You are welcome to bring in your own food items, or we can furnish you with food delivery options in the area. Due to a severe allergy of some of our staff, please do not include any mango items in your food choices when hosting an event on our site. See Stewart Center West guidelines.

Eco-friendly meeting space

We are trying to be a low- or zero-waste conference site. We do not have disposable items on site, including bottled water. If you would like to use disposable items or bottled water, you will need to furnish and dispose of those items yourself.

Security and HVAC

The building is open Monday through Friday from 7 am to 7 pm. If your meeting is within that time frame, no additional arrangements have to be made.

For meetings that begin later than 7 pm or that are to be held on a weekend, a list of attendees must be submitted to ANSIRH 48 hours in advance. Security personnel need this list in order to admit attendees to the building after hours. Attendees not on the list will not be let in. See Stewart Center West guidelines.

Heating and air conditioning operates during building office hours. Special arrangements may need to be made if your meeting extends beyond the regular office hours.
