3 thoughts on “Braun administration eliminates programs, positions and initiatives across state agencies after DEI review

    1. The Indiana Department of Health, or IDOH, will eliminate two positions outright: a disparities coordinator and a maternal health coordinator. Indiana has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world—and Black mothers are more likely to die in the year following childbirth than their white counterparts.

      “I’m just disgusted. These were really no-brainers,” Pryor said about maternal health initiatives geared toward Black Hoosiers and eliminated positions seeking to eliminate health disparities.

      “It is going to harm and hurt women,” Pryor continued. “… as the numbers get worse, that is going to lie at the feet of the governor and his policies.”

      Maternal and infant mortality rates were a specific focus for the Holcomb administration—and rates appeared to fall, especially for infants.

      “If the numbers get worse for Black women, it’s going to get worse overall,” Pryor said about maternal mortality rates. “For this particular issue, you know, investing in maternal health for women, investing in the minority community, it also helps the majority community as well.”
