Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Mississippi's Maternal Healthcare Equity Grant The Foundation's Grants to Support Maternal and Child Health Outcomes aims to address the stark racial disparities in maternal healthcare in Mississippi. To achieve this goal, the grant prioritizes specific outcomes that are crucial to improving the health and wellbeing of expectant mothers and new families in the state. ### Targeting Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Mississippi has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, with African American women being disproportionately affected. To address this issue, the grant focuses on reducing maternal mortality and morbidity through improved access to quality prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. The Mississippi State Department of Health's Maternal Mortality Review Committee plays a critical role in identifying areas for improvement and informing strategies to address these disparities. By targeting maternal mortality and morbidity, the grant aims to improve health outcomes for expectant mothers, particularly in rural and underserved areas. A key geographic feature that distinguishes Mississippi is its high percentage of rural counties, which often face significant barriers in accessing healthcare services. The grant prioritizes outcomes that address these challenges, such as increasing access to telehealth services and improving the capacity of rural healthcare providers to deliver high-quality maternal care. ### Enhancing Health-Related Social Services The grant also prioritizes outcomes that address the health-related social needs of expectant mothers and new families. This includes improving access to essential services such as nutrition assistance, housing support, and mental health services. By addressing these social determinants of health, the grant aims to reduce barriers to care and improve overall health outcomes for mothers and children. The Mississippi Home Visiting Network, a statewide initiative that provides home-based support to expectant mothers and new families, is an example of a program that can be leveraged to achieve these outcomes. To achieve these priority outcomes, the grant will support initiatives that address the unique needs of Mississippi's communities. For example, programs that provide scholarships to healthcare professionals pursuing specialized training in maternal care can help address workforce shortages in rural areas. Additionally, initiatives that provide grants to small businesses and organizations supporting maternal health can help build capacity and improve health outcomes. Applicants for this grant should be aware that the Foundation is committed to addressing the systemic biases and barriers that contribute to racial disparities in maternal healthcare. As such, proposals that incorporate strategies to address these issues, such as cultural competency training for healthcare providers, will be given priority. In Mississippi, there are various resources available to support grant applicants, including state scholarships and grants for small businesses. Applicants can also leverage free home repair grants in Mississippi to support community development initiatives.

Q: How can grant applicants in Mississippi address the health-related social needs of expectant mothers and new families?
