Data show that maternal mortality rates are higher among Black and Native American women, regardless of income and educational levels. Additionally, Black women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than non-Hispanic White women, even though three out of five pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. Although these glaring racial disparities have reached a crisis level, there are opportunities to make policy changes to better support the health of all babies and birthing parents.
Join the Alliance for Early Success for this webinar, featuring speakers from the National Birth Equity Collaborative and state advocates from Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia to discuss the drivers for these alarming disparities and what we can do to improve maternal health for everyone.
