"Not all discrimination is conscious, intentional or personal. It’s often built into institutional policies and practices such as mortgage lending, zoning or school funding practices, which impacts where you live, the quality of education you receive, access to good jobs."

In a country as wealthy as the United States, it is unconscionable that a person’s access to healthcare often comes down to skin color, gender, income, geography, disability, and employment or immigration status.

It could lead to fewer preterm births. It's shown to improve maternal health. 🤰🏾 It helps women stay in the workforce. It's called paid family leave and the U.S. should guarantee it. rwjf.ws/3ujR0Ih

Social determinants of health are factors in the environment where we are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age. When these things add stress or pressure to our schools, jobs, or neighborhoods they can affect our well-being and overall quality of life.

The "absent Black father" myth purposefully ignores the powerful role Black men play in the lives of their families and the systemic barriers they face. How else can society disrupt this narrative and support Black fathers? rwjf.ws/3wgHU0w

A short distance can mean large disparities in health. If you knew children born and raised in one neighborhood of your city tend to live 10, 20, or even 30 years longer than those raised in another, what kinds of questions would you ask?

"Equality," a core U.S. value, is not "Equity." That difference can mean years off your life.

#COVID19 adds to the financial stress many families already face: The high cost of housing. When so much of a paycheck goes to rent or a mortgage, there is little money for other essentials like healthy food and medicine. How can we increase access to affordable homes?

Pregnancy-related deaths are rising in the U.S., especially for Black women. Inequitable access to prenatal care, structural racism in healthcare systems, & lack of investments in maternal care are all root causes of the maternal health crisis dating back generations. #BMHW22
