Impact on policy, systems and practices

Cabinet Progress Talking Points
21
• We brought together a cabinet of moms, dads and education, faith, business
and health care leaders, to find out why so many babies are dying in St. Louis.
Together, we’ve made progress by:
• Creating a foundation of collaborative leadership.
• Reviewing data about St. Louis’ infant mortality crisis.
• Conducting listening sessions with 126 family members to understand the stories behind the data.
• Raising awareness about the issue
• Based on what we’ve learned so far, we have chosen a few initial areas we’d
like to review more closely:
• Home visiting for pregnant and new moms.
• Engaging those most impacted as partners in promoting healthy families.
• Once we confirm our initial priorities, we’ll form workgroups around each
priority and bring the right resources together to accelerate change.
