WHAT’s Mission

Phiara is dedicated to reducing morbidity and mortality rates among women in the childbearing stage, with a special focus on women of color. Recognizing the alarming increase in mortality rates of sentinel events within the BIPOC population, Phiara acknowledges the critical importance of this mission for marginalized communities. There is an urgent need to bridge the existing gap and reshape the culture surrounding perinatal care, all aimed at enhancing both physical and psychological well-being.
