The U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for a woman to give birth, even more so for moms and babies of color. This is a health crisis that has only intensified with the COVID-19 pandemic. 

That is why Rural Health Association of Tennessee has signed on to the #BlanketChange campaign. The campaign outlines key commitments that policymakers, organizations and community leaders can take to improve the health of all moms and babies across the U.S. By supporting #BlanketChange, organizations are calling for eliminating health and racial disparities, driving equity, improving access to care and addressing preventable health conditions.

Organizations that sign up at marchofdimes.org/BlanketChangeSignUp will have the organization’s name featured on the campaign webpage. Please review the attached document and log on to www.blanketchange.org to learn more about this year’s campaign. On the webpage, you will find a social media toolkit that you can utilize to help spread the #BlanketChange message with your contacts and help to amplify this critical work.
