Winsome Earle-Sears Instagram – As we recognize Black Maternal Health Week, too many Black women have an untold story of the life and death health scares they have faced in accessing the care they need for them and their babies to thrive, including my daughter and me. We recognize the work of those in the maternal health community and the work that still remains. This Administration has rightfully recognized the disparities that exist in maternal health, especially for Black women. Among these challenges are significant maternal healthcare deserts that exist around the Commonwealth for all women. This week, we reaffirm our commitment to encouraging communities around the Commonwealth to facilitate access to existing resources and join this Administration in support of innovative, holistic, and quality maternal healthcare in Virginia for all women.
