Summit County Public Health is a proud partner in efforts to improve maternal and infant health outcomes throughout Summit County.

Summit County continues to experience significant disparities in birth outcomes between Black and White infants. Addressing these disparities requires a collaborative, data-driven approach that is informed by evidence-based practices, community research, and, most importantly, the experiences and voices of families.

Working alongside local organizations, healthcare providers, and community partners, Summit County Public Health supports initiatives that address factors contributing to infant mortality and preterm birth. These efforts focus on understanding and addressing the impact of race, health equity, and social determinants of health, such as access to healthcare, housing, education, transportation, and economic opportunity.

Through collaboration and community engagement, partners are working to create healthier outcomes for parents, infants, and families across Summit County.
