Caring for Ourselves & Our Neighbors
The 46205, 46208, and 46218 zip codes (surrounding Broadway) have a high rate of infant mortality. Several of our neighbors have also been impacted by Black Maternal Childbirth Death which is devastating to families and communities.
Broadway's Maternal Child Health Team seeks to walk beside pregnant and newly parenting women in our neighborhood, as well as, provide education on Safe Sleep, and host Community Baby Showers.
The Mom2Mom program partners pregnant and newly parenting mothers with experienced and trained companions (most of which are mothers and grandmothers from the neighborhood), connects mothers with their peers in a bi-weekly supportive community, and provides mothers with resources, referrals, education, and home visiting. Mom2Mom has been developed with help from an intern from the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI, Broadway's Congregational Health Connector and Grassroots Maternal & Child Health Leader, Stephanie Caraway, and 15 community volunteers. Special thanks to The Indianapolis Foundation for their support of this program.
If you are an expectant or newly parenting mother looking for support and encouragement, or if would like to become part of our Maternal Child Health Team at Broadway, please contact Aaron Hobbs by clicking the button below.

Ending the
HIV Epidemic
The CDC and Health & Human Services have set goals of 75% reduction in HIV transmission by 2025 and 90% by 2030. These are bold goals especially for our community.
Marion County is one of 48 counties identified as a hotspot for HIV. From the beginning, the Black community has not received the same attention to combat the incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS, and continues to experience a disproportionate impact today. In the Indianapolis TGA in 2021, 48.8% of new HIV diagnoses were African American (and another 10.1% are Latinx).
Because we love and care for our neighbors we are working hard to develop new leaders who will provide energy, creativity, and vision so that together we can End the HIV Epidemic.
