With our partners, we are committed to delivering 50,000 maternity packages to new and expectant mothers. If you want to help address inequities in maternal healthcare, let’s work together.
Our Mission
Our Story
Our journey began with Kristi Taht, Founder and CEO of Qualitex, who has been a trailblazer in producing organic and sustainable garments for over 15 years, serving governments, major industries, and the medical sector in Europe.
Margaret Jarry, a specialized academic instructor in the public school system, was troubled by witnessing a lack of equitable access in healthcare among her students. Together, they teamed up to form The Bloomcare Group, with the mission to close the gap in maternal healthcare outcomes by providing maternity packages for new and expecting mothers.

MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE 3 TIMES HIGHER FOR BLACK WOMEN
-
In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for black women was 68.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to 26.1 deaths for white women
LOWER QUALITY CARE FOR MINORITY WOMEN
-
Studies show implicit bias leads to poorer communication and less patient-centered care for Black, Hispanic, and Native American women.
