RESUMEN

The history of racism in the United States was established with slavery, and the carry-over effect continues to impact health care through structural and institutional racism. Racial segregation and redlining have impacted access to quality health care, thereby impacting prematurity and infant mortality rates. Health disparities also impact neonatal morbidities such as intraventricular hemorrhage and necrotizing enterocolitis and the family care experience including the establishment of breastfeeding and health care provider interactions.
