Raising Community Voices to Reduce Maternal Mortality
Originally presented on March 28, 2019
Overview
There are significant and persistent racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health outcomes in the U.S. and in New York State (NYS). In NYS, black women are three to four times more likely to die from causes related to pregnancy than their white counterparts.
This webcast focuses on the critical importance of engaging and learning from community voices to help us better understand and address these outcomes. It will feature initiatives that are taking place at the state, community, and health systems levels to reduce racial disparities in maternal mortality in NYS. Viewers will have the opportunity to hear and learn from state representatives, community leaders, and community members.
