Prevent maternal deaths

In honor of Mother's Day, we are launching a full-court press to reverse the terrible odds against pregnant women when it comes to maternal health standards.

We are demanding that the Department of Health and Human Services, the principal agency responsible for protecting health in this country, create an Office of Maternal Health to ensure that moms and moms-to-be are getting the care that they deserve.

Maternal death rates in the United States are higher than 40 other countries, despite the fact that we spend more on health care than any other country. Currently, there are few systems in place to analyze problems, propose solutions and improve maternal health standards. But with your help, we can begin to change that!
