Highlights from the March 21 event. Maternal Mortality in the US- We Can and Must Do Better for Our Women & Mothers. The United States has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world. African American women in particular are experiencing this statistic at much higher rates than other racial and ethnic groups. What can be done to reverse the course on this tragic reality for so many women and families in the U.S.? How do health care delivery systems contribute to the problem? How can they be part of the solution? What is the role of policy? What are the roles of race, racism and bias? Brought to you with support from ASU's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. Co-sponsored by The Humanities Lecture Series.
