We are grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with Cardea on several projects including our work together focused on efforts to address substance use disorder (SUD), overdose prevention, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). We have also worked together to support a local health department in promoting equitable access to high quality health care services and improving health outcomes for Black birthing people and babies. It has truly been an honor to collaborate with an organization so thoughtfully committed to centering the voices of community and advancing equity and social justice.
