Forbes: Maternal Health

Inside Katherine Gold’s Mission To Improve Maternal Health Through Business Leadership

READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

It is important to acknowledge that resources for maternal health are shrinking. 41% of US births are covered by Medicaid and that number rises to 47% in rural communities. With the recent budget bill, the anticipated cuts to Medicaid will result in more hospital closures and even less health access for low-income and rural moms. The maternal healthcare deserts in this country will increase. Now more than ever, we need to use our resources to find solutions and provide every mother and baby with the support they deserve.

GoldBug can’t do it alone. But we are committed to working with others to ensure that every mom has the resources they need to have a healthy baby.

From Surviving to Thriving: What’s Next for Our Families

Summer’s heat is here, and with it a deeply disappointing federal budget bill passed earlier this month that will make drastic cuts to our already inadequate social safety net. If you’ve read the news — or tried to make sense of it — you know it’s a mess. But at Springboard, our story isn’t written by policy alone. We’ve always been more than tough circumstances. We thrive. We lean into joy. We look at obstacles and decide: we’re still going to carry on, keep learning and planning and give ourselves permission to dream big.

Whether you’re starting a new job, prepping kids for their first day of school or figuring out how to keep the fridge full and the lights on, know this: you are not alone, and your presence is powerful. Better days are on the horizon, and until then, we’re in this with you.

Let’s continue to thrive, together. Let’s keep showing up for each other, and — above all — keep finding moments of joy where we can.

Yours in Service,

“Education is the cornerstone for better health outcomes

and lifetime economic security.

As AI advances, unequal access to quality education

risks widening disparities further.”

“The foundation of a healthy democracy and economy is built on accessible, high-quality public education, and destabilizing this core institution brings cascading impacts across all facets of American life. Without federal oversight from the Department of Education, essential programs would fragment or vanish altogether.”
