We’re proud to share that Dara Cook, CEO of Expect, was invited back by Google—this time to their Capitol Hill headquarters in Washington, D.C.—to speak with Congressional staffers about the critical role of maternal fitness in improving health outcomes for moms and babies.

As the founder of the only OB/GYN-approved streaming fitness platform for pregnancy and postpartum, Dara shared how medically sound, accessible movement can reduce complications, support recovery, and save lives. She also highlighted how Google’s ongoing partnership—through its Ads platform and Small Business Advisors program—has helped Expect connect with the right audiences and scale its impact.

This invitation builds on Expect’s growing relationship with Google, including participation in the 2025 Google Business Summit and earlier recognition through Google for Startups. We're grateful to Google for continuing to champion solutions that make a difference—and for giving maternal health a seat at the table in the rooms where policy and innovation intersect.

A heartfelt thank you to Dale Allsopp, Google’s Director of Ads Responsibility Office for the invitation and continued support. We’re grateful to be part of a community that believes maternal health deserves national attention—and a voice at the table.
