Novant Health recently announced its three-tiered strategy to address disparities in maternal and infant health, with a focus on the following three areas:
- Improving access to early and adequate prenatal care
- Recognizing and addressing deficits in social determinants of health (SDoH)
- Mitigating unconscious bias through proactive education and training
Infant mortality, fetal death and stillbirths occur at a higher rate in Black children. The drastic disparities centered on the maternal and infant health experience will be a central focus of Novant Health’s strategic approach.
