Black women are approximately three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women—a stark disparity. In honor of Black Maternal Health awareness, local leaders, healthcare professionals, and advocates come together to shine a light on the urgent and often overlooked intersection between domestic violence and Black maternal health.

This week on The Public Good, LuAnne Brown, CEO, Buffalo Prenatal Perinatal Network (BPPN), Catharine Miles-Kania, CEO, Family Justice Center, and Dr. J'Leise Sosa, OB-GYN join us to discuss improving outcomes through community-based support, domestic violence and Black maternal health and the clinical perspective on treatment and proper care.
