Maternity care starts long before the birth of a child. We need to invest in the overall health, safety and psychological well-being of women throughout their reproductive life.
Brooklyn is the most dangerous place in all of New York City for a Black woman to have a baby. We're talking about Black women dying at eight times the rate as their white counterparts during childbirth.
We will expand to 30 exam rooms, including about eight bariatric rooms; three procedural rooms with restrooms, six ultrasounds, a large reception area, seating over 50, with a dedicated children's corner.
The problem we've had with Black maternal health is that we've been working at the margins. We give a little bit here, we do a little bit there, and we don't affect meaningful change.
