With the 2022 Women’s History Month theme being “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” we wanted to highlight the amazing Black Infant Health (BIH) staff in San Diego County. Every day BIH staff promotes hope to expecting and new moms during their pregnancy journey and offers a safe space to heal in a loving community. Here are many reasons why they love working at BIH!
