NHSA-AIM CCI Racial Equity Learning Series (RELS)

By Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Community Care Initiative (AIM CCI)
Added: May 20, 2022
InnovateLearnPartner Content

Recent maternal mortality data released by the CDC in February 2022 show that maternal deaths in the U.S. increased from 754 to 861 deaths per year.  The death rate among non-Hispanic Black women remains 3 times the rate of White women. Inequitable treatment during pregnancy and the postpartum period is a significant factor in this tragic disparity, and racism is at the root of such inequity.   

We hope that you will find RELS a useful resource, applicable to individuals and organizational teams, to deepen your understanding of the devastating effects of racism and explore strategies to combat racism from the waiting room to the board room, and beyond.
