CooperSurgical, a global leader in women’s health and fertility, today announced its support for Saving Mothers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide through innovative, scalable solutions.
Founded by Taraneh Shirazian, MD, (@drshirazian) Saving Mothers focuses on improving maternal health outcomes by addressing critical gaps in care, education, and access to life-saving interventions. Dr. Shirazian is a practicing gynecologic surgeon, associate professor at NYU Langone Medical Center, and director of the Center for Fibroid care.
“Saving Mothers commits to ensuring women everywhere have access to the care they need to survive and thrive,” said Dr. Shirazian, president and founder of Saving Mothers. “Collaborations with organizations like CooperSurgical are essential to expanding our reach and accelerating meaningful change in maternal health worldwide.”
As a company dedicated to advancing women’s health, CooperSurgical’s support reinforces its mission to empower healthcare providers and help improve patient outcomes across the continuum of care.
“At CooperSurgical, our mission centers on accelerating what is possible for healthy women, babies, and families everywhere. As a global leader in the industry, we commit to raising awareness, advancing education and empowering surgeons with the advanced surgical devices they need to enhance OR efficiency and improve lives,” said Holly Sheffield, President, CooperSurgical. “We are proud to support Saving Mothers and their work to improve maternal health outcomes globally.”
This collaboration is especially timely, as July marks Fibroid Awareness Month, highlighting a condition that affects millions of women worldwide and often remains underdiagnosed and underserved. Fibroids, along with other prevalent but historically underrecognized conditions such as endometriosis, underscore the need for greater awareness, earlier diagnosis, and expanded access to effective treatment options. Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women, and it often takes years to reach diagnosis and treatment, as symptoms like abdominal pain can appear to be regular menstrual cramps or other conditions.
“Our newest initiative is designed to educate women globally and more effectively about their health care through our YouTube talk show, Health Starts with Her. This show creates space for conversations that too many people shy away from, without sugarcoating or shame, offering honest, science-based discussions to help viewers feel informed, confident, and empowered. Our episodes explore topics such as fibroids, endometriosis, PMOS, and fertility, and will continue to expand to cover the full spectrum of gynecologic and obstetric health. With like-minded sponsors such as CooperSurgical, we hope to reach more women and build a robust, free platform of content to support women in learning more about their health,” said Dr. Shirazian.
For many years, CooperSurgical has provided uterine health solutions that offer critical support to physicians. Its uterine manipulation devices are designed to enhance control and visualization during challenging cases.

About Saving Mothers
Saving Mothers was founded in 2009 by Dr. Tara Shirazian, MD. Having worked in various development contexts as an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, she came to believe that tackling the most intractable inequalities in maternal health demanded an integrative, global vision for care that valued women’s lives equally regardless of their location or ability to pay. Based in New York, she grew the organization to include the country’s leading doctors in the field of maternal health, dedicated to bringing the expertise of physicians and surgeons to areas with the most urgent and unmet need for women’s healthcare. Saving Mothers empowers women in resource-limited settings by training their local medical providers, bringing lifesaving medical technologies to rural hospitals and clinics, and providing reproductive health education.
