Nonprofit Organization Management - Houston, Texas, United States
Did you know?More women die in childbirth in the U.S. compared to other developed countries.In recent years, the maternal mortality ratio has more than doubled. Over 60% of these deaths are preventable. Racial disparity is a continued concern with higher morbidity and mortality rates among women of color, despite socio-economic status.A growing number of women present with chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity, which contribute to pregnancy-related complications. These women could benefit from the closer coordination of antenatal and primary care – including case management and other community-based services that help them access care and overcome cost and other obstacles. In the USA, women who lack health insurance are three to four times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than their insured counterparts.Established in 2020, Push is a 501(c)(3) non-profit made up of passionate public health professionals, advocates, and community health workers (CHWs), dedicated to improving maternal health experiences and outcomes; before, during, and after pregnancy. Our goal is to minimize many of the preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality through a trusted partnership and care navigation services and programs, for all women, with an emphasis on the marginalized, uninsured, and high-risk communities.
