Health Policy
Mississippi is getting hotter. Experts say it’s hurting moms and babies.
As Mississippi summers grow more extreme, doctors and researchers say heat exposure is contributing to preterm birth, low birthweight, and the state’s rising infant mortality rate — and most prenatal care still doesn’t address it.

This Season's Partner
Shining Star Educational Services
Shining Star Educational Services (SSES) is an education, tutoring, training, public relations, and instructional design company that has supported schools and organizations across Alabama since 2018 and now serves Mississippi communities too. As one of Afya's close partners, SSES helped develop Project My VIBE, our healthy lifestyles and health education curriculum for students in grades 6 through 12. They also work alongside our team on school based programs and grant efforts that bring health education to young people.
SSES hosts recurring parental engagement sessions in collaboration with the Lowndes County School District and the Columbus Municipal School District, and they are working to expand the program to other school districts. We are grateful for their creativity, rigor, and heart for students.
