Weston, Florida – February 13, 2025 – Apotex Inc. (“Apotex”), the largest Canadian-based pharmaceutical company, today announced a grant through the Apotex Global Health Access Fund to Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County (“HMHB/Broward”) in Lauderhill, Florida, to support programs that promote maternal health and address health disparities.

Building on Apotex’s legacy of giving, including Apotex’s global medicine donation program, the Apotex Global Health Access Fund focuses on addressing unequal access to care and low health literacy within communities where there are poor social determinants of health. Apotex’s US headquarters are located in Weston, Florida.

HMHB/Broward is the second Apotex Global Health Access Fund grant recipient, and the first in the United States. The organization will receive $242,000 annually over the next three years to support the Mahogany Project, which provides comprehensive maternal health services to high-risk pregnant women in Broward County, aiming to improve birth outcomes and address social determinants of health.

“We are thrilled to announce this grant to Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies, which underscores our commitment to addressing health disparities,” said Christine Baeder, President of Apotex USA. “By supporting initiatives like the Mahogany Project, we aim to make a significant impact on maternal health and the well-being of families, supporting people on their health journeys.”

“We are incredibly grateful to Apotex for their commitment to our mission,” said Dawn Liberta, Executive Director of HMHB/Broward. “This support could not have come at a better time, as it will help us expand our reach and enhance the services we provide in helping reduce maternal and infant mortality in Broward County.”

In its inaugural year, the Apotex Global Health Access Fund focuses on funding maternal health programs in Canada, the United States, India, and Mexico with an annual budget of $1 million. The first grant recipient was the Rexdale Community Health Centre in Toronto.
