Here's the topic of the week:
3) December 27th Topic: Prenatal and Postpartum Nutrition
Sponsored by the City of Norwalk, CT

12/24/2025

Our founding director, SciHonor Devotion, CPM participated in the launch of Connecticut’s Maternal Health Blueprint as a panelist, advisory committee member, and supporter along with the commissioners of DPH and DSS, Dr. Iyanna Liles, OBGYN and co-chair of the CT Maternal Mortality Review Committee, Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith (Founding Director of ERIC - Yale School of Medicine), Mark Schaffer (CT Hospital Association), Dr. Tabassum Firoz, Obstetric Internal Medicine at Bridgeport Hospital). Dr. Joia Crear-Perry,founder and president of the National Birth Equity Collaborative was the event’s keynote speaker who left Connecticut with a lot to think about.

Throughout the development process, the advisory committee, made up of diverse experts discussed and reviewed multiple potential recommendations. After talking to community members, clinical experts, policymakers, and researchers to provide input and advice, the team eventually boiled them down to these five strategic actions which are designed to reflect the perspectives of those with lived experience, foster shared accountability for inequities, and name and address the impact of structural racism:

1) Tracking and awareness: Treat inequities in severe maternal morbidity as a critical public health issue.
2) Access all provider types: Ensure patients can access a wide range of providers, including doulas and community health workers.
3) Behavioral health: Strengthen connections between maternal health and behavioral health services.
4) Workforce diversity and training: Address discrimination in health care and diversify the workforce.
5) Economic stability: Increase economic security and mobility among families.

Although ambitious, the blueprint aims to achieve a 50% reduction of severe maternal morbidity among Black women over a three-year period, closing the racial gap for Connecticut and improving outcomes for all.

In summary, as SciHonor always says, “We Got Work To Do”
