(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today announced
the creation of the statewide Eliminating Disparities in Infant
Mortality Task Force aimed at addressing Ohio's racial disparities
in infant mortality.
In December 2020, Governor DeWine announced the formation of the

statewide shared vision and strategy for reducing infant mortality

-Creating actionable recommendations for interventions, performance
and quality improvement, data collection, and policies.

Ohio's investments and strategies to address racial inequalities in

Visiting Advisory Committee, we have been working to reduce infant
mortality and the racial disparities that exist,” said Governor
DeWine. “This Task Force is the next step we are taking to ensure
that all babies have the opportunity to grow up and reach their full
