Our organization is building an evidence-based and humane response to the opioid crisis through the distribution of naloxone in medical spaces.

Year after year, opioid overdose has remained a leading cause of maternal death in the United States, which suffers from the highest rate of maternal mortality of any industrialized nation in the world.

Our MOMs (Maternal Overdose Matters) Initiative works toward a future in which all hospital-based labor and delivery units, as well as perinatal units provide overdose education and naloxone distribution directly to at-risk mothers and their families.
