Background and Discussion:
The Maternal and Child Health pilot program aims to increase access to care for Black women living in Harris County who are new and/or expecting mothers. The program aims to decrease maternal health disparities, maternal mortality, maternal morbidity, and infant mortality. These outcomes are achieved through resource navigation and education through a systematic approach of care coordination.
Expected Impact:
This grant improves access to care by streamlining existing and new resources offered to mothers and children through Harris County Public Health and expanding resource navigation across health and social services systems through home visiting and evidence-based curriculums. Direct health education would impact pregnancy outcomes, mothers’ health and life-course, and infants’ overall health and development.
