About

The Maternal Health Equity Collaborative centers Black women and women of color- both in leading the collaborative and within the community we serve. The approach to service provision is not prescriptive or based on hypothetical needs but based in the actual needs of the community from a space of solidarity. The MHEC is building community through humanization, healing, and creating a legacy for generations to come.
