Blue Band Initiative
Preeclampsia — chronic or new onset high blood pressure — effects up to 10% of expectant mothers and is responsible for 10-15% of all maternal deaths in the U.S. And it affects minorities disproportionately.

The Blue Band Initiative aims to improve awareness and recognition of preeclampsia within our communities. To learn more, review Eunice's story.
