Description
The Elevance Health Foundation’s Maternal/Infant Health initiative is designed to address critical disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes across the United States, focusing especially on women and babies of color who are disproportionately affected by preterm births, infant mortality, and pregnancy-related complications. The Foundation invests in programs that span the entire maternal and infant health cycle—from preconception and family planning to postpartum support—emphasizing whole-person care that integrates physical, behavioral, and social needs. Funding supports innovative, measurable, and scalable interventions, with a goal to reduce preterm birth rates, severe maternal morbidity, and primary cesarean rates, thereby advancing health equity and improving outcomes for mothers and infants.
