The Perinatal Health Equity Foundation Inc is a non-profit organization based in Orange, NJ, dedicated to addressing the maternal health crisis faced by Black women in New Jersey. Their programs and classes are designed to provide holistic care and support to Black women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, with a focus on breastfeeding and lactation, pregnancy and postpartum support, and education. Through their initiatives, they aim to eliminate inequities in Black infant and maternal health, ensuring that Black women have safe and joyful birth experiences. The foundation offers various programs, including lactation support provided by certified specialists, risk reduction for preeclampsia, and a mom-to-mom breastfeeding group called Sistahs Who Breastfeed. Their mission is driven by the alarming statistics that show Black women in New Jersey are 7-8 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications and 3.8 times more likely to lose their babies in the first year post-birth compared to white women. By advocating for Black women's rights and providing resources, the Perinatal Health Equity Foundation Inc strives to create a community where all New Jersey Black mamas can flourish and thrive.Generated from the website
