Program Manager @Cinqcare, Healthy Start: Maternal and Infant Health

🌟 Empowering Families, Building Healthier Futures 🌟 In the field of maternal and infant health, collaboration is not just a word—it’s the backbone of everything we do. Every day, we strive to ensure that mothers, babies, and families in Buffalo have access to the highest quality care and support they deserve. Our work is guided by compassion, innovation, and a shared goal: healthier families, stronger communities. At Healthy Start Buffalo, we’re proud to be part of a vibrant network of organizations working tirelessly to reduce disparities and improve outcomes for women and children. Together, we’re addressing complex challenges, including high preterm birth and infant mortality rates, as highlighted in this recent article (see below). It’s a sobering reminder of why our work—and the collaboration that fuels it—matters. We know we can’t do this alone. Thankfully, Buffalo is home to a network of dedicated organizations and professionals all committed to the same mission. By working together, sharing resources, and uplifting each other’s efforts, we can achieve more for the families we serve. To my peers in this space: Your work inspires me every day. Let’s continue to connect, collaborate, and create solutions that drive meaningful change. For our community. For our families. For the future. If you’re passionate about maternal and infant health, let’s connect! We can accomplish so much more together. 💛

Hello Rashawn, it's all by design. I attended a lecture at the Science Museum, and that was one of the topics of discussion. I applaud you for putting it on front street. Proffesors from UB have arrived to the same conclusion. So where is the compensation, from the admission of guilt?
