This is Black Maternal Health Week, recognized each year to bring attention and support to improving Black maternal health. Currently, non-Latinx Black women in Chicago are 4 times more likely to experience pregnancy-related mortality than non-Latinx white women, and nearly 90% of those deaths were preventable. [source: Chicago Health Atlas, data from 2015-2020] Select hospitals in Chicago are participating in the Family Connects Chicago program, supplying post-partum people with vital care such as checking blood pressure, screening for substance use disorder, ensuring plans for important follow up visits and education on postpartum emergency signs.

#PilsenChicago y #LaVillitaChicago son de los vecindarios que cuentan con una mayor cantidad de áreas rodeadas de concreto, vías del tren, e industrias. Para ello CDPH cuenta con un plan para sembrar 75,000 árboles en 5 años para mejorar la salud física y mental de residentes que habitan en áreas como estas. En este episodio del podcast de Healthy Chicago, Dulce Garduño, Embajadora de Árboles en La Villita, nos cuenta sobre el programa de CDPH de “Nuestras Raíces” y cómo llamando al 3-1-1 residentes pueden obtener un árbol gratis.
