New Jersey stands at a critical crossroads.

As one of the nation's wealthiest states and a hub for healthcare innovation, it has the resources to lead. Yet profound disparities persist.

This is not a gap. It is a failure of systems, access, and accountability.

By the Numbers

2.5x higher maternal mortality rate for Black women in New Jersey than white women.

3.5x more likely — Black infants dying before their first birthday.

750K+ — Black women & girls in New Jersey

ROUNDTABLE FOCUS AREAS

01 — Health Across the Life Course: Prevention Opportunities. Identify where earlier intervention could significantly improve health outcomes for Black women and girls.

02 — Systems Barriers: Access and Navigation. Identify practical ways to improve access and reduce friction in the health system.

03 — Integrated Health Risks: Reproductive Health and Chronic Disease. Move from siloed approaches to integrated health strategies.

04 — From Conversation to Investment: Partnerships and Action. Identify where real commitments could emerge.
