Our Mission

Every Baby Guilford's mission is to ignite and mobilize Guilford County through partnerships and unified strategies to eliminate racial disparities and prevent infant deaths.

Our Vision

Every baby and family will have equitable opportunities and access to achieve the healthiest start in life.

Every Baby Guilford fulfills its mission and vision by being a force for change to ensure a strong, healthy start in life for every baby and every family.

The holistic health of individuals: We acknowledge that birth outcomes are a mirror of our community’s investment in families and work towards creating environments that support lifelong health.

Dismantling racism:  We are disrupting institutionalized racism. By confronting our own biases, we deconstruct the racism in us.  In doing so, we recognize it in systems and can identify organizational policies, procedures, and practices that result in a higher rate of Black infant death.  

A radically inclusive, community driven approach: We intentionally bring together residents and organizations, respecting the experiences and perspectives of those most impacted by infant death.  Together, we create equitable systems for long-lasting change. 

Urgent action: Our measure of success is the elimination of disparities in infant mortality in Guilford County. The future of our work depends on the actions we take today to transform policies, enhance programs, and be a visible, vocal change agent for our community.
