We exist to change the narrative
Using community health workers as activists, Homeland Heart Collective seeks to create a safe space and improve birth outcomes for women, infants, and families of color.
Through programming and services designed for women and infants of color, resources for families of color and training and support for women of color midwives and doulas, Homeland Heart Collective is devoted to mitigating concerns and creating safe environments and experiences, eliminating racial, socioeconomic, and health disparities, and reducing infant and maternal mortality rates before during and after pregnancy, for underserved and marginalized groups.
