AAUW Hosts Presentation on Maternal and Infant Mortality – January 21, 2025 at the Lafayette Library & Learning Center
Perinatal Equity Initiative: Addressing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Maternal and Infant Health Outcomes
According to the World Health Organization, the U.S. has the highest infant and maternal mortality rates compared with any other high-income country. In California, Black infant mortality rates are two to four times higher than the rates for other racial and ethnic groups. In 2018, The Perinatal Equity Initiative (PEI) was signed into California State law to change these outcomes.
This program is hosted by the Orinda-Moraga-Lafayette and Danville-Alamo–Walnut Creek AAUW branches. This free event is open to the public. Location: Lafayette Library (Community Hall), 3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. The event will run from 10:00-11:30 a.m.
