Abstract

Georgia is one of the worst states for maternal mortality. This disparity is even higher for Black women, especially those who live in rural Georgia counties. Evidence shows a current decrease in access to maternal health care in Georgia due to hospital closures. Traveling great distances to access care can also mean that women are less likely to keep up with scheduled appointments. Globally, mobile health units are regularly utilized for various services, including maternal health. There is an unmet need for increased access to care in rural Georgia counties, where a maternal mobile health unit can alleviate the burden of having to drive great distances for services. This grant proposal aims to fill that gap and in doing so not only improve access to care for Black mothers, but also improve health outcomes which can in turn, improve the Black maternal mortality rate.
