The Women of the Mountains Birth Initiative, also known as WOMB, and Families Flourish Northeast Inc. received $119,705 to help tackle the maternal health crisis in northern New Hampshire, the Northern Border Regional Commission announced.

They’re two of 14 organizations across New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine to receive a collective $1.67 million from the commission. The money came through a partnership between the commission and the federal government aimed at addressing various gaps in the region’s healthcare network.
