Description
As it turns out, a person's lifelong health and longevity take root even before they are born. Preterm birth and low birth weight are connected with a range of medical issues that span the life course—including all-cause mortality. But when it comes to maternal and infant health, complications for Black mothers and babies far surpass those of other demographics. In Episode 2, we head to Los Angeles County to find out why—and to learn how the African American Infant and Maternal Mortality Initiative is working fiercely to improve health outcomes for Black mothers and babies.
