Built for the Future of Family Support

Georgia ranks among the bottom five states for maternal mortality. Nearly half of Georgia counties have no maternity care — no OB-GYNs, no hospitals delivering babies.

Black women are 3–4 times more likely to die from childbirth-related causes, driven by limited prenatal care, high C-section rates, and racial bias in healthcare.

When care is delayed or inaccessible, instability follows — increasing risk for both mother and child.

Black infants in Georgia die at disproportionately high rates due to low birth weight, preventable delivery complications, and gaps in prenatal support.

Too many mothers are not believed when they raise concerns — carrying the weight of bias, stress, and systems not designed for their safety.

With early, consistent support, outcomes change.

42% of Georgia counties lack hospital-based obstetric services. Many families travel over an hour for basic care.

Rural communities like Pierce County, where Georgia Peach is rooted, are hit hardest — increasing risk during pregnancy and delivery.

Georgia has fewer than ten licensed maternity homes statewide — most concentrated around Atlanta and consistently at capacity.

Existing options are often short-term and limited, ending support when stability matters most.

Georgia Peach fills this gap with housing that supports pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and long-term stability.

Georgia’s history of reproductive harm has left lasting mistrust in healthcare systems, especially for Black women.

Georgia Peach responds with dignity — not control — offering support rooted in respect, safety, and choice.
