Creating a State of Nevada “Thrive by Five” program to connect education, health, and human resources to create better outcomes for our children’s early education and long-term future.

Nevada has the third-highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the country -- about twice the national average -- and Black women are more than twice as likely to be impacted by this disparity.

Thrive by Five D.C.’s work includes: providing a centralized space to bring together the city’s wide range of resources, fostering communication and collaboration between organizations to cultivate innovative solutions, and hosting a yearly Maternal and Infant Health Summit.
