We reaffirm our commitment to Black Maternal Health.

Did you know in Pierce County and nationwide, Black babies under 1 year of age die at about double the rates of white babies? We can help change that!

  • This week is Black Maternal Health Week.
  • We take this time to reflect, and to reenergize our commitment to improving the health of Black mothers and their families.
  • Our Black Infant Health Team brings communities together through advocacy and action that lets you, our community members, help shape and guide our program. Earlier this year marked the second term for our Black Infant Health Community Advisory Board.

Learn more about how our Black Infant Health program helps Black mamas and families in Pierce County thrive.
