Our Mission
Progressively improving for a better world.
Our mission is to become allies in the multicultural maternal health journey, ensuring that minority women get access to high-quality healthcare before, during, and after their pregnancy. Our priorities as healthcare providers are to be informed and educated, recognize and confront racial bias and most importantly, actively listen to women’s concerns in order to provide personalized care.
At Mama Thrive, we firmly believe that each story is unique and must be treated with the best possible approach and professionalism. With team-effort between physicians and patients, we will make fully-informed decisions to ensure a positive maternal health experience for every woman.
“It is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver.”

What We Want To Achive
The Problem
Black women in the United States are 3 to 5 times more likely to die from pregnancy or postpartum issues than white women.
The estimated national maternal mortality rate in the United States is about 17 per 100,000 live births––but it is about 43 per 100,000 live births for Black women.
Main Causes
- A biased health care system
- Implicit bias in health care providers
- Insufficient health care access
- Lack of comprehensive data around how moms are dying and why
OTHER FINDINGS
- Maternal mortality not only has to do with pregnancy itself but with how it's handled.
- Black and other minority women often have to advocate for themselves to get adequate care, no matter how educated or informed they are.
- According to the CDC, about 60% of maternal deaths are preventable.
- The U.S. is the only industrialized nation in the world where maternal mortality is rising.
- Each year, approximately 700 American women die during pregnancy, childbirth or subsequent complications.
