Health Ascent Associates organized and wrote the Wake County 2020 Infant Mortality Workgroup Report with a quick turnaround time. They were able to develop a cohesive, visually appealing report and county-wide implementation plan, using the workgroup recommendations. This framework will serve to guide our County’s efforts to reduce the burden of infant mortality for years to come.
