As evidence of maternal health disparities continue to mount, showing consistently higher rates of death and pregnancy complications for Black and Indigenous populations, women in the communities most affected are rallying together to build safer systems of care. By increasing access to comprehensive, individualized care in low-income communities, CHC: Creating Healthier Communities and local partners aim to prove that disparities are a function of delivery system design, not demographics. It’s a distinctly collectivist approach that is uniting providers, public health experts, and community residents around a common goal: helping families thrive.
