We showed up for our mamas — and it was everything. 🤍

On April 9th, PHEI partnered with to host our Community Baby Shower, a celebration of the families we serve and the community that holds them.

From resources to connection to a whole lot of love, this event was a reminder of why we do this work every single day. Shoutout to MEND and East Orange WIC who supported our event with there knowledge, resources, and love for community.

At PHEI, we believe every birthing person deserves to feel seen, supported, and celebrated — not just in the delivery room, but throughout the entire journey.

Want to know when our next Community Baby Shower is? Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date with all things PHEI. 💛

Every mom deserves to feel supported, seen, and cared for. 💜

At PHEI, we believe maternal health support goes beyond appointments and checklists, it’s about showing up for families in meaningful ways during one of the most important seasons of their lives.

“Voices of Our Mamas” highlights the real experiences of the mothers and families we serve, reminding us why this work matters every single day. To every mama navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood: you are not alone. 🤍

Preeclampsia can happen during pregnancy — and after birth, too.

For Black moms, awareness and early intervention can save lives. The first 48 hours postpartum are one of the highest-risk periods, which is why monitoring blood pressure and knowing the warning signs matters so much. This Preeclampsia Awareness Month, we’re reminding our community that knowledge is protection, advocacy is power, and support should never stop after delivery.

Through our partnership with Aetna, PHEI’s Cuff It program provides blood pressure cuffs, education, and clinical support from a registered nurse to help pregnant and postpartum moms stay informed and supported.

Save this post. Share it with an expecting mom. Start the conversation. 💜
