MD BRONX, N.Y., July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bronx Health Collective at Montefiore Health System and the Mama Glow Foundation have been awarded a $2 million Health Resources and Services Administration grant to address trauma and advance treatment options for birthing people at clinics located in the South Bronx. The partnership, historic in nature, addresses structural racism, which makes exposure to violence particularly common in birthing communities.
Key Points:
- When compared to their white counterparts, Black birthing people are three times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications.
- In Bronx County, the ratio of pregnancy-related deaths for Black birthing people was 9.4 times that of white birthing people.
- Through Montefiore's partnership with Mama Glow, a leader in maternal health and birthing justice, ongoing doula services will be available during pregnancy, as well as during and after birth in Montefiore's South Bronx clinics.
- As one of the most under-resourced regions in the country, the Bronx contains one of the most vulnerable populations facing the maternal health crisis.
