Description
Multnomah County’s Healthy Birth Initiative addresses the needs of pregnant Black and African American women by opening up access to health care and providing ongoing support to pregnant Black and African American women and their families before and after birth. Blacks and African Americans experience rates of infant mortality and low birth weight at levels that unjustly and disproportionately affect their communities. Healthy Birth Initiatives works to achieve healthy birth outcomes by improving the well-being of mothers, fathers and their children before, during and between pregnancies. To receive services, participants must be Black or African American, pregnant, and a resident of Multnomah County.
