CHC Meets with Director of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships

CHC: Creating Healthier Communities met yesterday with Rev. Dr. Que English, Director of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, and members of her team, to discuss the pressing issue of Black maternal health in our communities. We shared progress from our Black Birthing Initiative, supported by Elevance Health Foundation.  BBI is a community-driven collaborative across four cities working to improve rates of pre-term birth by increasing access to quality healthcare and essential resources for Black birthing people.

We affirmed our commitment to working together to ensure that all mothers, regardless of race or background, have a safe and healthy pregnancy and childbirth experience. Our team looks forward to joining forces in the very near future to address this critical issue. #BlackMaternalHealth #HealthEquity
