Arizona Community Baby Shower (The M.O.M.S. Tour)
Introducing the M.O.M.S. Tour (Maternal Outcomes Matter Showers): a baby shower series dedicated to improving maternal health outcomes. Targeting communities with high rates of maternal mortality and morbidity, particularly among African American and American Indian/Alaska Native women, this tour goes beyond the traditional baby shower.

The M.O.M.S. Tour gathers mental health professionals, birth workers, medical experts, and community members for vital discussions on maternal health disparities. Offering resources and support, the event provides not only baby essentials but also resources for dads and children, educational materials, access to health services like insurance and mental health support, connections to doulas, and nutritious food.
