Daily News | Philadelphia is piloting a guaranteed income program to reduce rates of infant mortality
The pilot is a partnership between the health department and the Philadelphia Community Action Network, a group working to reduce racial disparities in infant mortality.
The first-of-its-kind program for those expecting takes shape as the city holds the highest rate of infant mortality during a child’s first year of life among the country’s 10 most populated cities. According to the city, Black infants are over four times more likely to die before their first birthday than white infants.
