Our expertise spans program development, the launch of impactful initiatives, and systematic monitoring combined with comprehensive evaluations to ensure sustained success.
• Leveraging advanced capabilities in data architecture, linkage, and analytics, we assess the effectiveness of SDOH-focused models in improving health outcomes, optimizing service utilization, and reducing healthcare costs. Our holistic approach empowers organizations to create transformative Medicaid programs that address the root causes of health inequities while delivering measurable results.

Advancing Women's Health with a Lifecourse Approach

• At the Health Equity Consulting (HEC) Group, we are dedicated to advancing women's health through a comprehensive lifecourse approach that spans every stage of life—from addressing the impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to supporting maternal health, menopause, and the needs of older women.
• Through our tailored, holistic approach, we deliver measurable improvements at both individual and systemic levels. By integrating care across the lifecourse, we ensure that women’s unique needs are addressed at every stage of life—from childhood to older adulthood—paving the way for healthier pregnancies, stronger families, and equitable care systems that prioritize women’s health.

Advancing Women's Health with a Lifecourse Approach

Central to our mission is a focus on maternal mental health and its profound influence on women and their families. Our expertise encompasses three critical areas:

• Maternal Mental Health: We prioritize tackling perinatal depression and its wide-ranging effects on mothers, infants, and families. Our evidence-based strategies improve mental health outcomes during and after pregnancy, fostering resilience and healthier family dynamics.
• Stress and Pregnancy Outcomes: We address how stress, including factors tied to social determinants of health (SDOH), impacts pregnancy and birth outcomes. By mitigating these stressors, we enhance maternal and neonatal health, while considering the broader implications of stress throughout a woman's life.
• Innovation and Advanced Data Analytics: Utilizing AI and cutting-edge data tools, we design personalized, data-driven interventions that improve mental health outcomes and transform healthcare delivery for women across their lifespan.
