Ohio continues to rank in the bottom ten states nationally for infant mortality. While policy changes are necessary to address this persistent crisis, it is not sufficient to save the lives of Ohio’s vulnerable infants. Cradle Cincinnati's Dr. Meredith Smith and bi3’s Jill Miller shared insights in a webinar with Groundwork Ohio about the successful strategies spearheaded in Hamilton County. https://lnkd.in/gcBpmS2d #ImprovingMaternalAndYoungChildHealth #bi3Partner

Thanks to the work of our trusted partner Cradle Cincinnati and other community collaborators, infant mortality rates in Hamilton County recently fell to a rate of 5.5 deaths per 1,000 births. However, rates remain higher across Ohio, according to a report from Groundwork Ohio, citing that seven of every 1,000 babies born in Ohio still die before their first birthday.

?? Grantee Partner Spotlight ?? Fueled by a $4.5 million bi3 grant, the TriHealth Center for Health Equity launched last year to organize efforts and resources to proactively address social determinants of health and identify health disparities within TriHealth. Since then, the Center has continued to build its internal team and launched efforts to address infant mortality, uncontrolled diabetes, and uncontrolled blood pressure that data shows have historically disproportionately affected socio-economically challenged communities and people of color. #SupportingCommunityDrivenHealthPriorities #ImprovingMaternalAndYoungChildHealth #bi3Partner
