OUR MISSION

Our innovative hybrid model, combining virtual and in-person services, sets us apart and allows us to reach communities across Ohio effectively.

Breaking the cycle
Implicit bias among healthcare professionals, cultural stigma and mis-education related to lactation care add to low breastfeeding rates among Black women in the US. As a research-based organization our mission is rooted in education for both mothers and health professionals.

Research shows us
Maternal wellness disparities among black and brown women in the U.S continue to rise, while rates overall show a decline. Globally, The U.S is the only industrialized nation where black and brown maternal health is getting worse.
