The Kansas Birth Equity Network is a community-centered initiative that brings together parents, community members, community organizations, doulas, midwives, physicians and more to increase awareness of the Black maternal health crisis, understand the impact of racial discrimination and chronic stress on maternal and infant outcomes, and develop solutions to improve the health of Black families.
