In 2013, after learning that one-third of all infant deaths in Missouri happen in St. Louis and the Bootheel, the Foundation began its efforts to support partners working to address this complex issue. We take immense pride in the exceptional work of our partners who have played a pivotal role in each of their communities, and we are excited to share two videos that offer a closer look at each.
Generate Health builds collective power to advocate for racially equitable policies and practices that center, support, and celebrate Black families throughout their pregnancy and parenthood journeys.
Bootheel Babies & Families supports, educates, and empowers families and community partners to improve maternal and child outcomes, enabling families to thrive.
We hope you are as inspired by these videos as we are, and we encourage you to share them with your networks. By amplifying and joining in these efforts, we can all build on the progress our partners have made as we strive to achieve health equity.
