In 1999, the Black Infant Mortality Reduction Resource (BIMRR) Center was established by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services to address the disparate numbers of infant deaths among Black women when compared to White women.  The BIMRR Center strives to increase professional and public awareness by serving as a statewide and national educational clearinghouse for health care professionals and consumers. We are committed to ensuring that women of African descent experience optimal maternal and child health for themselves and their families.  Through the BIMRR Center newest initiative, entitled PETALS, the health education needs of Black women seeking prenatal care and those who are parents of NICU graduates will be addressed.  Access the BIMRR website to obtain health education information and resources.
