PBS News Hour

The steps an Ohio county took to reduce infant mortality

Season 2025 Episode 23 | 8m 17s

When it comes to infant mortality, the United States ranks 54th in the world. That's about three times that of Japan, Singapore or Slovenia. Within the U.S., Ohio is in the bottom 25 percent of all states. Hamilton County was even worse until it started working on saving newborns a decade ago. Paul Solman went there to find out how they’ve done it. It's part of our coverage of Race Matters.
