Through WFAE's partnership with Novant Health Foundation, "Advancing Maternal Health Equity" explores all aspects of birth equity and talk about what needs to be done to improve infant and maternal health.

In North Carolina and across the nation, Black women are the most at risk of dying from complications due to pregnancy. Why that is and what can be done to improve the odds was the topic of Wednesday night’s EQUALibrium Live forum hosted by WFAE and the Novant Health Foundation.
