Women who are giving birth in this country are more likely to give birth to preterm babies, low birth-weight babies. Maternal death is extremely high. We are competing with developing countries on some of these measures. And when you think about how much we spend on health care, to do so poorly in this area is really unacceptable.When we unpack that performance and look at who is most adversely affected, we find that it is people who are Black, brown, and moderate-to-high risk.
Health care, as I tell people, you get it right when you have a heavy dose of empathy as part of the on-the-ground delivery of the service. That’s why the maternity navigators are so powerful. They understand the people they are serving.There is no better place to get this right. We don’t have a homogenous group of people. Even if you just look at Black women, you have a very diverse group of Black women. You have a West African population, some of whom are Anglophone, many are Francophone.
