This Womens History Month, we are shining a light on infant mortality and maternal health. The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) shows that infant mortality is about three times higher for Black women than white women. 

And, here in Nashville, according to a NashvilleHealth 2019 Infant Safe Sleep Report, 66% of sleep-related infant deaths in Metropolitan Nashville were Black infants. We must do better!

This month, and every month, we will continue our fight for #healthequity in Nashville.

A new online tool is providing critical health data for EVERY U.S. community.

The Congressional District Health Dashboard is revealing stark geographic, racial, and ethnic disparities in health and well-being.

Free access to this information can influence change and guide us toward #healthequity. We encourage everyone to take a look and take action!

This month our Governing Board was able to meet in person for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
 

We were excited to convene together once again and celebrate our five new board members!

At NashvilleHealth, we know we can accomplish more when we work together and are excited to continue our mission with our newest Change Makers.
