The Bronx Healthy Start Partnership has teamed up with local elected officials and community-based organizations to present "Strollin' for Life" today from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM at Walter Gladwin Park. The event will feature maternal health information, giveaways and more!
The goal of Healthy Start is to decrease maternal and infant mortality and improve birth outcomes, which will hopefully lead to narrowing the health disparity gap. Black, non-Hispanic women are 2-3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.
