Indian River County Healthy Start Coalition, Inc’s Post

Strengthening maternal health is crucial for improving the lives of all mothers and babies. Research and data show that there are racial and ethnic disparities in death rates. Non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, Black, and American Indian/Alaska Native women are at least two to four times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as non-Hispanic white women. Indian River County Healthy Start Coalition is committed to ensuring that every mother, every family and every baby has access to receiving the care and support they need. #blackmaternalhealthweek
