Review Cuyahoga County infant mortality reports
The Cuyahoga County Board of Health issues a monthly Infant Mortality and Birth Outcome report which includes data that informs our work. A comprehensive annual Child Fatality Report is also issued in the fall of each year which provides a broad look at causes of death of children less than 18 years old who lived in Cuyahoga County.

Participate in ongoing training on bias and respectful care.
As a clinician, it is your responsibility to understand your patients and provide them with the information and resources they need to achieve optimal health. Being aware of the various factors that influence health outcomes can make a difference in how you provide care and improve the well-being of your patients.
