On this final day of RH Impact's operations, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our supporters, colleagues, funding partners, staff, and friends. Your unwavering support has empowered us to fight for improved reproductive, maternal, and infant health for Black women, birthing people, and their babies.

We will never stop advocating for the health and well-being of Black women and their children, nor cease calling out injustices and proclaiming the right to equitable, quality healthcare for our community.

With deepest gratitude, we thank every member of the RH Impact community, especially our dedicated staff. Your efforts have made a significant difference in the lives of Black women and their babies. We can't wait to see what you achieve next.

THANK YOU!
