Race
& Infant Mortality in Northeast Ohio:
Why
are black babies dying more and what can be done?
Wednesday, September 27, 2017
7:00 - 8:30 pm
Heights
Public Library Main Branch
2345 Lee Road, Cleveland
Heights, OH 44118
Moderator:
Brie Zeitner,
The Plain Dealer
Panelists:
Christin Farmer, Executive Director, Birthing Beautiful Communities
Dr. Arthur R. James, The Ohio State University, Interim Executive Director,
Kirwin Institute, Nationwide Children's Hospital
Angela Newman
White, Supervisor, Maternal & Child Health Program, Cuyahoga County Board of Health
Ohio has one of the highest rates of infant
death for black mothers in the country. Northeast Ohio is ground zero for the crisis, as more African American babies are
born in Cuyahoga County than in any other part of the state, and these babies die at three time the rate of those born to
white mothers.
Why is the problem so bad for the black community in particular, what role does racism in our neighborhoods and institutions
play, and what can and should be done to fix it. Join us for a lively discussion, and bring your opinions and observations
about how race influences the lives of Northeast Ohio mothers and their babies.
