💡 New research by D-tree and Harvard about successful ways to reach new mothers to ensure they get the care they need. Equitable healthcare delivery is crucial in improving the health and well-being of mothers and babies.

This is a significant achievement in health equity, ensuring that lower-income or less-educated mothers receive the same level of care as their counterparts and confirms that digitally-supported community health worker programs like Jamii ni Afya can provide quality postpartum care to women across different socioeconomic statuses.

This blog by NASHP | National Academy for State Health Policy outlines why #BlackMaternalHealth is such an important issue for the country and what states are doing to address the disparities. Like the rest of the country, California is also working on building the clinician workforce. But in the meantime, the state is addressing the issue with the highest priority by tapping into the healthcare workforce to bridge gaps in care by ensuring that Medi-Cal members receive doula, midwife, and community health worker services as a part of their benefits. This isn't enough obviously but it's a start. #HealthEquity
