At St. John’s Community Health, our Committed to Black Wellness & Health (CBWH) Program proudly recognizes Black Maternal Health Week as a vital moment to honor, uplift, and advocate for Black mothers, birthing people, and their families. This week is not just a time of reflection but a call to action — as we confront the stark disparities that Black women face in maternal and infant health outcomes. Systemic racism, bias in healthcare, and social inequities continue to create alarming challenges for Black women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. At CBWH, we stand at the forefront of the fight for health equity, reproductive justice, and the dignity of every Black mother and family. We are committed to providing culturally rooted, trauma-informed, and compassionate care while empowering our clients to thrive. Through education, advocacy, and community support, we work daily to create a world where Black mothers not only survive but thrive. During this Black Maternal Health Week and every day, we reaffirm our promise to fight for the rights, health, and well-being of Black women and their families.
