PASOs – Empowering Latinas in South Carolina
In our state, Latina women may have many challenges accessing prenatal care because of language and cultural barriers, and they have higher rates of birth defects and pregnancy complications arising from a lack of nutritional education. South Carolina’s health system needs support to increase its capacity to effectively respond to the reproductive health needs of Latinas and their babies.
Prisma Health is leading the way in responding to these needs by implementing the Perinatal Awareness for Successful Outcomes (PASOs) program, partnering with South Carolina Public Health Institute and The Duke Endowment to implement this initiative. PASOs (Spanish for “steps”) is the only program in the community geared toward Hispanic women. Learn more about the PASOs program.
