  • Riassunto

  • According to the CDC, Black women, and women of color, are much more likely to die due to childbirth-related complications than white women, or to suffer from medical complications.

    For Black women, the leading causes of death are cardiovascular conditions, as well as cardiomyopathy, pre-emplasia, and eclampsia, or hypertensive disorders.

    According to the American Journal of Managed Care -- healthcare providers should take into account social factors when looking at someone’s health, including trauma, stress, violence in their neighborhood, healthcare access, and food insecurity.

    Early this year, the Massachusetts legislature recently passed a bill creating a maternal health commission, which received Gov. Charlie Baker’s approval in mid-January. The new commission is tasked with finding ways to eliminate or reduce racial disparities when it comes to maternal health.

    Joining the conversation is Representative Liz Miranda, doula Nneka Hall and advocate Timoria Queen Saba.
