Celebramos un año de impacto
In 2025, we celebrated measurable outcomes achieved with our clinical and community partners in the first full year of our expanded Special Beginnings maternal and infant health initiative.
Nearly 60 healthy babies were born through program partners, and more than 9,000 people received specialized maternal health services.
While progress has been made, the March of Dimes continues to show New Mexico has a maternal death rate that exceeds the national average and uneven access to prenatal care.
Several efforts funded through Special Beginnings helped bolster the maternal health workforce, including training for more midwives and doulas, preparing New Mexico to expand access to vital support and services during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
En el Blue Door Neighborhood CenterSM, situado en South Valley, Albuquerque, ofrecimos acceso a grupos de apoyo a la lactancia y otros recursos para padres primerizos y futuros padres de la comunidad.
Queda mucho por hacer
A second round of Special Beginnings funding awarded in 2025 is supporting eight community and clinical partners to expand access to quality maternal and infant health care, reduce health disparities and address social factors that influence a mother and baby’s well-being.
The initiative continues to prioritize health equity, quality improvement in birthing locations and expansion of the maternal health workforce to reduce perinatal disparities.
This includes specialized training for clinicians providing perinatal mental health, data-driven quality improvement tools for New Mexico birthing hospitals, culturally centered care for Indigenous families, and access to perinatal services in rural and remote areas with telemedicine.
"Al invertir en estos programas, estamos trabajando juntos para crear un comienzo más saludable y un futuro más brillante para las madres y los bebés de todo el estado", afirmó la Dra. Latha Raja Shankar, vicepresidente de Servicios de Atención Médica y directora médica de BCBSNM.
