Environmental Justice
Education and action to address environmental conditions that shape birth outcomes and maternal health.
Our environmental justice work brings awareness to how the built environment impacts pregnancy and postpartum health.
Many families live in areas with poor air quality, high heat exposure, and limited access to nutritious food—all factors linked to preterm birth and low birth weight.
We provide education on how to identify and reduce environmental risks at home, including safer housing products and air quality tips. This work connects health equity and climate justice, ensuring families understand how environmental conditions intersect
with maternal well-being and how to protect themselves
and their children.
- Parent education on environmental and housing impacts
- Community engagement on food access, redlining, and pollution
- Strategies for navigating environmental risks during pregnancy
- Integration with broader health and wellness initiatives
