Black Families Talk about Their Experiences with Racial Bias in Health Care

by | Feb 19, 2020 | Prenatal Care, Racial Equity

Premature birth is the leading cause of infant death, and Black babies in St. Louis are more likely to be born premature because of lifelong systemic racism and toxic stress faced by their mothers. Additionally, racial bias plays a critical role in the way Black moms experience health care.

Watch the video to hear real stories from Black mothers and fathers who have experienced racial bias in the health care system, as well as the toll stress caused by lifelong racism has on Black families.

This is why we do the work we do. Join FLOURISH’s movement to achieve zero racial disparities in infant mortality by 2033.
