内容摘要：Pero su situación es sin duda alarmante para quienes buscan soluciones a la disparidad en la tasa de mortalidad materna entre las mujeres negras. Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, en 2023 las mujeres negras tenían una tasa de mortalidad de 50,3 decesos por cada 100.000 nacidos. Eso es más del triple de la de las mujeres blancas, y está por encima de las de hispanas y asiáticas.

Limber Saliero, a roofer from Ecuador who has been worshipping at St. Paul’s for more than a year, said he had never heard of acupuncture but decided to try it.“I felt like an energy that was flowing into me,” he said.

Vanessa Arcos tried acupuncture with her sister and her father, while her mother got a Reiki treatment. The family started attending the church the week they arrived in Minnesota from their home state of Guerrero, Mexico, almost a decade ago.Lying in the lounge chair next to a statue of the, Arcos said she overcame her fear of needles and found the treatment relaxing for both muscles and mind.

“It felt very peaceful, very safe,” Arcos said. “It’s important to do little things for yourself.”This story has been updated to correct Lizete Vega’s job title to family engagement coordinator instead of its Latino outreach coordinator. It has also been corrected to reflect that Limber Saliero has worshipped at St. Paul’s for more than a year, instead of five years.
