About Us
Cradle Cincinnati was founded in 2013 as a collaborative effort between parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals and community members with a commitment to reduce infant mortality in our community. In Hamilton County, 8.1 babies died for every 1,000 who were born from 2017-2021. That’s a dramatic improvement from where we have been in the past but our work is far from complete.
OUR VISION
Every child in Hamilton County will live to see their first birthday.
OUR MISSION
Cradle Cincinnati is a network of partners working across sectors to measurably improve Hamilton County, Ohio’s infant mortality rate and to eliminate racial inequalities in the health of moms and babies. We aim to do this by transforming systems, supporting families and amplifying Black women’s voices while empowering their ideas and actions.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
No single organization can tackle the issue of infant mortality alone. We need partners throughout Hamilton County to come together under a common goal—helping our babies live to their first birthday—and common objectives. We embrace of model of collective impact.
