    • In this seminar, we introduce a new program that addresses climate, health and equity, Green Cars for Kids. This Florida-based nonprofit works to create a world where every child and pregnant person reaches their full health potential unhampered by transportation barriers. Our program coordinates transportation for low-income expectant mothers and children to healthcare visits using electric vehicles. The goals of the program are to improve the health of pregnant women and children by breaking down transportation barriers. By using electric vehicles, we contribute to reducing air pollution and carbon emissions that impact the health of frontline communities most.

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Describe the current state of perinatal health in the US.
      2. Identify two examples of racial inequities that lead to disparities in perinatal health.
      3. Summarize the Green Cars for Kids program.
