Black Maternal Helth Week

Our Commitment

On April 11th, Secretary Xavier Becerra and leaders across the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson, released statements in recognition of Black Maternal Health Week. Read the statements.

We in MCHB are dedicated to overcoming the racial, ethnic, and geographic inequities that lead to more of our Black mothers and their babies dying during and after pregnancy. Learn more about how our investments provide for the health of women as they move through the stages of motherhood.
