This past Monday, maternal health advocates gathered at the State House to celebrate Governor Maura Healey’s signing of the maternal health bill into law. Mass General Brigham’s Chief Community Health and Health Equity Officer, Elsie Taveras, MD, MPH, and Associate Chief Health Equity Officer, Allison Bryant Mantha, MD, joined Melissa Nelson, MSN, CNM, WHNP, Chief Nurse Midwife at Massachusetts General Hospital; Susan Hernandez CNM MSN FACNM, CNM, Clinical Director, iCMP; Leena Mittal, MD, Chief of the Division of Women’s Mental Health at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and other maternal health colleagues from across the system and the Commonwealth to commemorate this new comprehensive bill. The legislation is aimed at overhauling maternal health practices and expanding coverage for midwifery, birth centers, doulas and screening and treatment for postpartum depression, among several other initiatives. It also aligns with Mass General Brigham’s Health Equity and Community Health goal of reducing disparities in maternal health outcomes by recognizing the critical role that midwives play in achieving maternal health equity. It was also a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with some of our Mass General Brigham alumni, whose hard work and advocacy were crucial in advancing this historic legislation.
