Black Maternal Health Week seeks to bring focus and awareness around Maternal Health Equity and Mental Wellbeing. Health Equity is at the core of everything we do and is inclusive of racial and economic justice.
Anthem is involved in a number of state advocacy efforts to improve maternal and infant health. Black Maternal Health is essential to APEX and our Enterprise Community Health Chair. All associates are welcome to join us as we seek to improve outcomes for women and infants alike. Learn more about the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2021 here.
