Racial disparities persist in maternal and infant health outcomes, and the statistics are staggering. In the United States, Black women are over three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than White women.

This isn’t just a number. It represents mothers, daughters, partners and friends who should never have been lost.

This Black Maternal Health Week, we recognize that the fight continues to ensure the health and safety of all women in this country.

Many health challenges are shaped by more than medical care alone. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the everyday conditions in which people live, work, and age, and they strongly affect health, quality of life, and lifespan. Factors like access to healthy food, transportation, stable housing, and social support play a major role.
