Black women and birthing people in Pittsburgh are more than twice as likely to die while pregnant, during birth or postpartum, compared to their white counterparts. Steep racial inequities persist, however a passionate base of advocates and professionals in our city are working to improve these unjust conditions so that Black birthers may experience the healthy pregnancies and deliveries they deserve. Panelists will review racialized disparities in maternal health and recommend ways to improve birthing outcomes.
