The first annual Minority Health Awareness Month Webinar Series: Communities Working Together to Achieve Birth Equity will be held in April during Minority Health Awareness Month. This will be a four-part, weekly webinar series, free of charge, where we as a community can gather virtually to discuss the state of infant mortality and showcase different regional and national innovative programs and initiatives to improve birth outcomes and promote health and wellness.
The webinar series, sponsored by the Global Infant Safe Sleep Center and Baby 1st Network, will include such topics as collaboration/partnerships, mental health, safe sleep practices and the role of fathers and communities.
National Minority Health Month is observed every year in April to highlight the health disparities that persist among racial and ethnic minority populations and the ways in which legislation, policies and programs can help advance health equity. This year’s national theme is Partnering for Health Equity. Partnerships at the national, state, tribal and local levels are vital to the work of reducing health disparities and advancing health equity.
