Maternal Health
Addressing maternal health challenges and improving outcomes for mothers and families.
Our Commitment to Maternal Health
CityMatCH is dedicated to addressing the maternal health crisis in America's urban communities. We work alongside local health departments to implement evidence-based strategies that improve outcomes for mothers, infants, and families.
The United States faces significant challenges in maternal health, with rising rates of maternal mortality and morbidity, particularly among communities of color. CityMatCH believes that local health departments are uniquely positioned to address these disparities through community-centered approaches.
