New Jersey has made major strides in improving maternal and infant health, with more than 70 policies and programs aimed at addressing disparities and expanding care. Initiatives like Nurture NJ have focused on equity, access, and support for families across the state.

A recent study from Rutgers School of Public Health takes a closer look at those experiences, highlighting both improvements and ongoing challenges. Joining us now is Dr. Leslie M. Kantor, Professor and Department Chair at Rutgers School of Public Health.
