Strong Start & Beyond
What It Is
Strong Start & Beyond is a movement that leverages California’s investments and partnerships to improve the reproductive and maternal health and well-being of Californians.
Why It Matters
In California, every 5 days, a heart-wrenching tragedy unfolds as a mother loses her life to pregnancy-related complications.
With 1 in 8 births in the U.S., California is a microcosm of the U.S. maternal mortality crisis.
80% of maternal deaths are preventable.
How We’re Building Our Movement
Recognizing the urgent need for action, the California Surgeon General formed a movement to implement transformative solutions for reproductive and maternal health.
Who’s Involved
Diverse stakeholders across community, government, healthcare, private, public, and non-profit sectors form the core of our collaborative partnership.
