Leading To Health
Richelle Smith and Cheron Phillips are both mothers in St. Louis,
Missouri. They were once patients of US maternal health providers, and
today, they both serve as community collaborators on EleVATE
.
EleVATE, which stands for "elevating voices, addressing depression,
toxic stress and equity," is a maternal health program in St. Louis.
The program curriculum is designed by and for Black women, and it aims
to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. What sets EleVATE apart
is its focus on engaging the community as a critical partner in its
endeavor.
Mothers like Smith and Phillips serve as experts in a room of health
professionals, sharing their lived experiences to bridge gaps in
understanding.
As Smith talks about trauma and trauma-informed care, she says, "Me
presenting this as a community collaborator is like the person who
really gets it. A person who's been there, who's pulled through it,
who really puts it all together."
Elevating the voices of Black women is especially important given the
nation's maternal health crisis.
Not only is the US's maternal mortality rate an outlier among that of
other high-income countries, but Black women are also "almost three
times more likely to die in pregnancy, in childbirth, or postpartum than
White women."
In order to advance maternal health and equity, advocates are pushing
for a change in the relationship between clinicians and Black patients,
recommending that they spend more time engaging in deeper conversations.
Through these efforts, mothers who serve with EleVATE look to address
maternal health and equity-one conversation at a time.
