BETWEEN 2019-2021, WOMEN ON MEDICAID IN THESE ZIP CODES EXPERIENCED AN INFANT MORTALITY RATE OF 9.4 AND A PRE-TERM BIRTH RATE OF 12.1. OUR APPROACH WILL ENHANCE ALREADY EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS AND NETWORKS CURRENTLY FOCUSING ON MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH THROUGH STRATEGIC COORDINATION OF RESOURCES, AS WELL AS CENTER AROUND THE FORMATION OF A COMMUNITY CONSORTIUM, BRINGING TOGETHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS.

THROUGH THE ENHANCEMENT OF DIRECT AND ENABLING SERVICES, LCPH AND ITS PARTNERS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD UP THE COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER AND DOULA WORKFORCE, IN ADDITION TO CONCENTRATING EFFORTS WITH CLINICAL PARTNERS. A SPECIAL EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. IN ADDITION, LCPH WILL MOBILIZE A COMMUNITY CONSORTIUM AROUND A STRATEGIC PLAN TO ADDRESS THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH THAT ARE NEGATIVELY IMPACTING BIRTH OUTCOMES. THE WORK OF THE CONSORTIUM WILL BE DIRECTLY FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED IN AN EFFORT TO DEMONSTRATE A TRUE COMMITMENT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IDEAS. BY COMBINING DIRECT SERVICES WITH ENABLING INTERVENTIONS AND FOSTERING COLLABORATION THROUGH A COMMUNITY CONSORTIUM, THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO CREATE A COMPREHENSIVE, SUSTAINABLE, AND COMMUNITY-DRIVEN APPROACH TO REDUCE INFANT MORTALITY RATES IN LORAIN COUNTY. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY BE MEASURED BY STATISTICAL IMPROVEMENTS BUT BY THE STRENGTHENED BONDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND THE LASTING IMPACT ON THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE COUNTY.
