Housed within the Philadelphia Department of Public Health’s Division of Maternal, Child, and Family Health Division, Birth Justice Philly is a team focusing on maternal morbidity and mortality. Comprised of professionals from diverse disciplines including healthcare providers, epidemiology, education and public health, the team works to gather crucial data and translate it into actionable strategies to improve maternal health outcomes in Philadelphia.
Birth Justice Philly operates through two core branches:
(1) Conducting citywide data collection and comprehensive surveillance to track local trends in severe maternal morbidity and maternal mortality, including facilitation of the nation's inaugural county-level Maternal Mortality Review Committee
(2) Leveraging this data to pinpoint and pursue tangible next steps through our action team, the Organized Voices for Action (OVA).
