Not Every Life Gets to Live!

Ending infant and maternal mortality in America will require a concerted effort from many different stakeholders. Healthcare providers, policymakers, and community organizations all have a role to play. We need to ensure that all women have access to quality prenatal care, that we have a strong public health infrastructure in place to prevent and treat pregnancy-related complications, and that we address the root causes of racism and poverty that contribute to these deaths.

It is a challenging mission, but it is one that is worth fighting for. We must all be committed to this goal, and we must all be willing to do our part.
