Reproductive Health volume 16 , Article number: Cite this article. Metrics details.

Black women are twice as likely to deliver a low birth weight or preterm infant and are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications compared with white women. They are also at increased risk of severe maternal morbidity. Research has established that these disparities in maternal health outcomes are inadequately explained by socioeconomic factors, medical comorbidities, access to care or location of care. Attempts to improve overall obstetric care provision via traditional quality improvement techniques have similarly failed to eliminate racial inequities in birth outcomes.

We offer a range of services to help women in all stages of their lives. From prenatal visits to postpartum care to family planning, female patients at DotHouse Health can expect friendly and caring service. Please call to schedule an appointment. Monday: am - pm.
