“Black Maternal Mortality: Framing the Problem; Finding Solutions.”
“Indiana has one of the nation’s worst rates of mothers dying while pregnant or within a year after giving birth. About 41 women in Indiana die per every 100,000 live births, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That rate is even worse for Black women. Some 53 Black Hoosier moms die for every 100,000 live births. That’s on par with the maternal death rate in countries like Iraq and Vietnam, according to U.S. government statistics.
***A panel of experts will discuss both challenges and solutions and best practices being implemented.***
Show Guests:
Tony Gillespie – Vice President of Public Policy & Engagement
