Black Maternal Health Webinar

The COVID-19 epidemic has demonstrated that the US health care system's long-standing disparities have gone unaddressed for far too long and have left many vulnerable, specifically Black mothers and their families. Black moms in the US are 3 to 4 times as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications and Hispanic, Native American, & Asian American and Pacific Islanders experience disproportionate mortality and morbidity rates as well.

 

Join us on Thursday, March 25 at 3 pm EST, as we discuss the inequities in Black maternal health and the need to advocate for policies that address racial disparities in our health care system.
