During #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we join partners across the country to raise awareness and support solutions that ensure every mom and baby has the opportunity for a healthy start. Take action: www.marchofdimes.org/black-matern...
Addressing maternal health disparities requires coordinated action across healthcare systems, policymakers, and communities.
Thank you Senator Katie Britt for being a champion for moms and babies by leading vital policy change sponsoring the Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act, NIH IMPROVE Act, and BABES Enhancement Act. We are proud to partner as we fight to improve the health of moms and babies.
We step up for every family to have the best possible start, so that we can celebrate more moments like this: a healthy mom and a strong baby. 💜
