The Healthy Start Initiative is offering this grant to address and reduce disparities in infant mortality and adverse perinatal outcomes. This grant is specifically for communities experiencing infant mortality rates at least 1.5 times the U.S. national average, along with high rates of low birthweight, preterm birth, and maternal morbidity. The program aims to improve women’s health, promote quality services, strengthen family resilience, foster collective impact, and increase accountability. Services support high-risk women and their families from pregnancy through two years postpartum, striving to eliminate health status disparities in racial or ethnic minority groups.
