- A strong start in life: How public health policies affect the well-being of pregnancies and familiesThis report takes a holistic view of perinatal health and, as people progress through different stages of development, puts it in context as a developmental precursor to later indicators of wellness, including birth outcomes, postpartum wellness, and subsequent child development. The five domains of social determinants of health and well-being serve as the framework for this report: Health care:…July 2022COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal/Child Health, Social/Structural Determinants

The program grew out of StoryCorps, a former WKKF grantee that captures unscripted conversations between people across the U.S. The 60 Minutes story mentioned Albert Sykes, a Community Leadership Network Class Two fellow from Mississippi, who…April 2022COVID-19/Coronavirus, Community-rooted/Participatory Research

- The United States has the worst maternal health outcomes among high-income nations – despite spending $111 billion yearly on maternal and infant care. People of color, particularly Black and Indigenous birthing people† and parents, bear the brunt of this fundamental failing. Today, there is more recognition than ever of the influence of structural forces on maternal and infant health and a…December 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Advocacy
- The strong relationship between housing and health has been well-established, a reality that can be critically important for those who are pregnant. Affordable, quality housing—and where it is located—directly affect families’ physical and emotional well-being.

- Immunization inequity contributes to negative health outcomes for both individuals and the population as a whole.

- The COVID-19 pandemic has made explicit the health disparities that have long existed worldwide, exposing their roots in systems of exclusion and power. Since the novel coronavirus first hit cities across the globe, we have seen drastically different local and national responses, levels of risk and vulnerability, and emergent supports—in response to both the health crisis and the accompanying…April 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus
- The COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. has shown the country what all hospital and health systems leaders have known for years: Serious gaps exist in access, cost and quality for patients based on their race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, age, sexual orientation or other demographic and socio-economic factors. Hospitals and health systems have the opportunity to use data to identify…March 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Interventions, Services & Programs
