Birth Kentucky Better
Our Mission
Granny’s Birth Initiative aims to support families in need during childbirth. Many of these families face challenges in accessing consistent, high-quality care or may be overlooked within the healthcare system. The initiative focuses on providing assistance to individuals experiencing incarceration, housing instability, lack of family support, and other barriers that can impact maternal and infant health outcomes.
