Dr Martine Hackett, Assoc. Prof. & Chair of the Dept. of Population Health, spoke at a news conference yesterday with our US Sen. Gillibrand calling for legislation & nearly $180 million in federal funding to address the nation’s maternal mortality & maternal mental health crisis
I'm at @HWCLI on Long Island today to announce my Moms Matter Act, a bill to help combat the maternal health crisis. The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate among industrialized nations — we must do more to put an end to preventable maternal deaths.
Storytelling is a powerful tool for addressing public health problems because the many can understand the experiences of the few. Hearing Scott and Crystal's stories of their rare condition, CIDP taught me something new and connected deeply. Listen here: ihr.fm/3pLRsmk
Building a support system. Trusting your body. Getting an education with a rare disease. Thriving, not just surviving as a young Black disabled person. Anaya's MG journey is all that and more: iheart.com/podcast/1119-unto…

Thank you @Newsday for highlighting @HealthNYGov’s report on maternal mortality in NY. In 2018, Black women were 5x more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes. newsday.com/opinion/editoria…

Resegregation of the suburbs will shape the future of American civil rights.
It’s no coincidence that places like Ferguson and Brooklyn Center are producing civil rights conflict, and our cities are engines producing many similar communities theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Two studies out on maternal health in the last 24 hours:
-The U.S. maternal mortality rate *rose* in 2019, and remains much higher among Black women
-Globally, pregnancy outcomes worsened during the pandemic, with upticks in maternal deaths and depression + stillbirths
Yes I can relate! Thank you @KristalZook for this wonderful piece and for lifting up the work that Black faculty and students are doing @HofstraU #BlackintheIvory
Tell me if you can relate. So many stories of what so many have felt and endured at #colleges #universities. This one is personal folks. Check out my @NewYorker piece about being #BlackintheIvory Big thanks to @DrShardeDavis

Reposting from last year. More than ever, racism is a public health crisis #COVID19 #birthequitynassau #RacialEquity @LIWomenDvrsty @bjustwarriors @NCComptroller @NassauExecutive newsday.com/opinion/commenta…
Thank you Suffolk County Legislature, looking forward to this work! Next step, Nassau County. @NassauExecutive @SuffolkCoHealth @LIWomenDvrsty @bjustwarriors #maternalhealth #blm
A new Suffolk task force will investigate why so many women, especially Black women, die from pregnancy and childbirth complications.
Long Island has a higher maternal mortality rate than the national average & Black women are 3x more likely to die

We celebrate #BlackBreastfeedingWeek this year to #ReviveRestoreReclaim the beauty of breastfeeding and our strength as a community. I look forward to organizing with maternal and infant health advocates here in NY to push for equitable and just access for women of color. #bbw20
The legacy of @DrOBarbot Iives in all the public health people she inspired and helped along the way. We will continue her fight.
@DrOBarbot is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. I wouldn’t be where I am without her support.
To be a WOC in govt is to be chosen to shift a racist system with little support. When you make mission-driven decisions, you receive condescension, gaslighting & abuse.
Suburban public health needs are unique and often overlooked. Overall we are facing a #publichealth crisis. #suburbanhealthequity apnews.com/e28724a125a127f65…
