For the Community Coalition on Race, this program launches its focus on Black Maternal health that will highlight the major racial disparities in mortality, complications and treatment for Black mothers when compared to white mothers. “Birthing Justice” lays the foundation for the Community Coalition on Race’s forum on March 9 which will consider the impact of racism on health, including biased care practices within clinical care, discriminatory hospital policies, and policy solutions and advocacy measures that support reform.
