Announcing the arrival of Jennie Joseph's New Book: Beautiful! Images of Health, Joy and Vitality in Pregnancy and Birth.
"To me all pregnant women are beautiful, but maybe after having spent a lifetime working with them, I am somewhat biased. So why a book about Black pregnant women and babies specifically? Why not? Have you ever seen such a book? Amongst the plethora of "Omigod I'm (She's, We're) Having a Baby" books have you come across any uplifting or encouraging pregnancy photography books? There are many cute baby photo books, brimming with pictures of healthy, happy cherubs which touch and move us all, so much so that you don’t even have to be pregnant to enjoy them.
Troubling data on infant deaths
By Eugene Declercq and Judy Norsigian | November 17, 2008 BOSTON GLOBE
PRESIDENT-ELECT Obama's healthcare reform proposals have focused intensely on two key questions: How much would reform cost and how many people would be covered? He also must address the critical issue of why the United States has such poor health outcomes despite all the money we spend.
A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documents a slight decline in the national infant mortality rate (the number of deaths to babies under 1 year of age) in 2006, but the rate has essentially remained flat since 2000, leaving the United States 29th among industrialized countries.

SANFORD - Shanette Lee thought hope was around the corner.
Her life had not been easy. Brushes with the law landed her in prison for a few years.
Then a relationship in New Jersey went sour, causing Lee, 29 and three months pregnant, to head to relatives in Sanford. But things got worse, and Lee ended up at a homeless shelter, rationing the prenatal vitamins she got back in New Jersey.
"There were times where I didn't know if I was going to get anything to eat," Lee said.
She was afraid her baby would die.
She was also a walking statistic for black infant mortality.
The death rate for Seminole County's black babies is off the charts -- seven times that of white babies, said midwife Jennie Joseph."This is outrageous, and these statistics can't stand," Joseph said.
'Saving Our Babies - The JJ Way™' has called together leaders in the government, health, social service and faith communities for a breakfast symposium to be held on Friday April 11, 2008. The keynote speaker for this event, Dr. Charles Mahan, is Dean and Professor Emeritus at the College of Public Health and The Lawton and Rhea Chiles Center for Healthy Mothers and Babies at the University of South Florida. Hosted by Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford, the meeting will focus on sharing the facts and shaping solutions in a collaborative effort to end this runaway racial disparity. "Our combined strengths and efforts will prevail as we move forward with an agenda to improve the health of all members of our community, particularly our most vulnerable and needy populations, with this sincere effort to prevent infant deaths" states Joseph.
