Last week was the inaugural #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, where we work to raise awareness of the rising maternal mortality rate of black women in this country, and commit to addressing this problem head-on.
Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes than white women. Black maternal mortality rates have reached crisis level – it’s past time that we come together to find solutions.
The Quality Care for Moms & Babies Act is one step in the right direction. By improving quality of care for mothers & babies, and taking a more comprehensive healthcare approach, we will help address the disparities in maternal & infant mortality in Ohio. brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
