Near-Death Experience Leads Founder To Create A Maternal Health Startup That Boasts An All-Black, Women Executive Team

“What makes the Navigate Maternity team so special is that we are all Black women from Indiana who have had extensive careers (OB/GYN, Payer, and Medtech) in healthcare with a focus on addressing disparities in our community,” McGee said. “As a Founder, I’ve birthed four children in the height of the Black maternal health crisis and have dealt with the reality of implicit bias first hand. Ultimately, we are members of the population we wish to serve, which means our passion for this issue is very real and very personal. When our kit reaches a woman in the early stages of her pregnancy, she knows that it was built by Black women, for Black women, to save Black women.”
