Ohio Black Maternal Health Caucus
Black Maternal Health Caucus
The Ohio Black Maternal Health Caucus aims to raise awareness within Ohio to establish Black maternal health as a statewide priority. This is accomplished through advocacy efforts, partnerships, education, and innovative, evidence-informed, culturally competent policies for health outcomes that benefit the long-term well-being of Black mothers, babies, and families.
The Black Maternal Health Caucus meets monthly via Zoom.
