Cardiovascular care at the heart of Black maternal Health

In New Jersey, a Black mama is 7 times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than a white woman. More than 80% of those deaths are preventable. PHEI exists to change that. The Kitchen Table is where it gets done.

PHEI puts cardiovascular care at the heart of Black maternal health. Preeclampsia does not end at delivery. The support for Black women does not end at childbirth. We are the only organization in New Jersey doing this work this way, and monthly donors are the people who make it sustainable.

Today, I invite you to take YOUR seat at The Kitchen Table. You will be joining a community of people who have chosen to fund the system that should have always existed. Your support helps redesign the future of care for Black mamas.

What your monthly gift builds:

$8/month keeps one family in Mamas in Bloom for one full month — community health worker support, screenings, and wraparound care
$25/month funds a home visit from a community health worker who speaks your language
$50/month covers preeclampsia and postpartum cardiovascular screening for one family
$100/month funds a Mamas in Bloom baby welcome package — everything a new mama needs to bring her baby home with dignity
$250/month supports PHEI's policy agenda at the New Jersey State House — because system change is part of the build

Your monthly gift is what makes the work sustainable. It is what lets us show up before the crisis, not after. It is what lets us say yes when a family needs us at 11pm and every other door has been closed to them.

Pull up a chair. Build with us.
