BONUS - Reducing Infant Mortality in West Baltimore

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The B'more for Healthy Babies program in Promise Heights is a remarkable program in West Baltimore that has reduced infant mortality and improved other health outcomes for more than a decade. <strong>Stacey Stephens</strong>, the social worker who directs this effort for the University of Maryland School of Social Work, speaks with <strong>Dr. Josh Sharfstein</strong> about this effort.  Joining them is Gisele Joseph, a community health worker and certified lactation consultant in the program. The secret to their success? It's not an app. It's not a quick fix. It's years of grassroots organizing and outreach.
