Mental health is maternal health. 💜

For 100 years, #BlackHistoryMonth has honored Black leaders who shaped our nation. In maternal health, Black leaders have driven advocacy, innovation, and care that still moves us forward.

At #NJMIHIA, we carry that legacy on — advancing equity for NJ families.

Pregnancy puts real stress on the heart 💜

Early screening and blood pressure checks can help save lives. Heart health matters before, during, and after pregnancy.
