We are a group of Black Women leading this campaign. It is a statewide campaign to build awareness, develop community programming, create regulations and policies to improving Black Maternal Care in Delaware.


Part 1 of a 3 part series. Today's program will address the following: How do we increase awareness throughout the state of Delaware? How do we connect all 3 counties? How do we get this information in the schools and to healthcare providers?
