Elev8 Health Launches Its National 2025 Thrive Tour
The THRIVE Tour unites mental health experts and medical providers with families across 20 cities to improve maternal outcomes.
Elev8 Health, Inc. announces the unveiling of the 2025 THRIVE Maternal Health Tour, a key initiative aimed at enhancing maternal health for families and expectant parents. This exciting tour spans across twenty diverse cities from March through November, bringing together a wide array of professionals including mental health specialists, birth workers, and healthcare providers. The primary focus of the THRIVE Tour is to create a supportive environment for women and families, especially within African American and American Indian/Alaska Native communities that have been significantly affected by maternal mortality rates.
A Commitment to Community and Support
Under the leadership of Dr. Que English, the President and CEO of Elev8 Health, the THRIVE Tour is focused on delivering essential resources and support. Dr. English’s background includes extensive work in enhancing community health, aligning with Elev8 Health’s dedication to combatting the alarming rates of maternal health issues. The tour aims to educate communities about critical topics such as self-advocacy, maternal health challenges, and the significant impact of supportive systems like midwifery and doula services.
Understanding the Stakes
According to the CDC, maternal mortality poses a serious threat, particularly for Black women, who are three times more likely to experience pregnancy-related complications than their White counterparts. Over 80% of these tragic outcomes are preventable with timely medical intervention and access to quality care. The THRIVE Tour is aimed at bridging this gap by providing education and resources to tackle these disparities head-on.
During the events, attendees will benefit from expert-led panels and interactive sessions tailored to foster open dialogue regarding maternal health. The collaborative model promoted by the THRIVE Tour is designed to establish a supportive “village” necessary for thriving families.
Empowering All Family Members
Recognizing that supporting mothers encompasses an entire family effort, the THRIVE Tour includes dedicated resources for fathers as well. Discussions tailored for dads will explore their unique challenges and offer tools to enhance their role in the family unit. This holistic approach is crucial in nurturing resilient families that can overcome systemic barriers affecting maternal and child health.
Dr. English emphasizes the importance of these community gatherings, stating, "Raising a family indeed takes a village; we aim to provide that village. Our collaborative efforts with key sponsors facilitate vital support for families in need. We strive for equitable healthcare practices that address systemic issues essential for improving maternal health outcomes."
