Annotation

Pregnant women in the United States are more than twice as likely to die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth than those in most other high-income countries in the world. The sad reality is that women of color are disproportionately impacted. Urgent action is needed to address persistent health inequities and ensure all mothers receive the best possible care throughout their pregnancies.

During a National Association of Black Journalists webinar on May 19, 2021, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association previewed the Blue Cross Blue Shield, The Health of America Report®, “Racial Disparities in Maternal Health” and hosted a discussion with health equity leaders on the current state of racial disparities in healthcare, strategies to change the trajectory of disparities, and solutions for Black maternal health.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the implications of implicit bias on maternal health

• Explore how new home-based models of maternal health care fight racial disparities
