Maternal health and resources for mothers in the local community

We're taking a closer look at the health of moms and babies in our community this morning. New 2024 data shows Duval County is seeing higher birth rates than the state average — but fewer moms are getting early prenatal care, and more are going without care altogether. That's where community partnerships are stepping in — including a big event happening this weekend aimed at supporting expectant mothers and new families. Joining News4JAX+ at 10:30 a.m. is Dr. Pauline Rolle, Chairman of the annual community baby shower, and Mia Jones with Agape Family Health.
