Florida Senator #32 Rosalind Osgood spearheaded the Minority Maternal Health Fair, aiming to bolster the well-being of minority women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This event, held during National Minority Health Month, shines a light on the stark reality: Black women face maternal mortality rates 2-3 times higher than white women. Taking place on April 20, 2024, at the Lauderdale Lakes Educational and Cultural Center, the fair provided vital education, resources, and community support. Attendees benefited from free workshops covering pregnancy and birthing resources, breastfeeding support, doula services, and postpartum care. Additionally, baby items were raffled off, adding a joyous touch to this crucial initiative.
