We are so excited to share this podcast with @TheHPPJournal discussing an upcoming manuscript discussing the community efforts involved in developing Glow! Group Prenatal Care model which is being tested in the EMBRACE Study. Fresno shows up to address our challenges! #FresYes

The Fresno VBJ Community Champions Workgroup will strengthen the voices of the community most heavily affected by infant mortality, building trust and enabling high-impact research throughout the county. ucsf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2s…

The purpose of the Fresno Voices for Birth Justice (Fresno VBJ) campaign is to raise awareness of the racial inequities in infant mortality through an engaging digital platform in Fresno, California.

The work of the EMBRACE Prenatal Care Study would not be happening if community members had not shared their lived experiences and expertise, contributing every step of the way. There is a new opportunity for community members to continue affecting positive change.
