Today is Maternal Health Awareness Day. In the U.S., 1/3 of counties are in a maternity care desert and lack access to vital obstetric care, birth centers, or certified nurse-midwives. The maternal mortality rate is high at 17.4 deaths per 100,000 live births, with 84% preventable. Black women face a staggering 4x higher mortality rate than white women. At hatch health we’re committed to widening access to maternal health care, evidence-based education, and culturally competent care for better patient outcomes and experiences. #maternalhealth #maternalhealthawarenessday

Today is Maternal Health Awareness Day. Did You Know: "Access to maternal health care has increasingly become unobtainable for many patients in the United States. Ongoing financial, staffing, and policy challenges have forced hospital administrators in both rural and urban areas to shutter their labor and delivery units, causing patients to travel longer distances or go without needed care. In particular, rural access to maternal care grows ever more challenging, with more than one-third of U.S. counties considered maternity care deserts, according to a 2022 March of Dimes report." - Learn more at https://lnkd.in/ds9_Ud4D

Premier consistently looks for ways to collaborate with hospitals and health systems to improve quality, safety and cost of care for mothers and infants.

Black Maternal Health(BMH) Black Maternal Health Week, has come and gone. However, BMH, unsurprisingly, is still in crisis mode, with 3478 maternal and 81,931 infant deaths, each year, with disproportionate impact on hitting mothers and infants of color. Solving this issue, however, is not a “spectator sport,” and every voter can play a critical role in reducing and eliminating this threat to U.S. families. Voters, this year, can put their supportive words into action, by supporting the following activities: * White House Blueprint for Addressing The Maternal Health Crisis * The Mothers and Newborn Success Act * The Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act (“Momnibus”), * Maternal Health Quality Improvement, * Maternal Care Access and Reducing Emergencies Act, * Healthy MOMMIES Act, * IMPACT to Save Moms Act, * Data to Save Moms Act. #BlackMothersMatter

The maternity care system is broken. Poor maternal health outcomes are a national disgrace. Access to high quality, respectful maternal healthcare is unobtainable for many individuals throughout the United States. Mother Goose Health is joining American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in raising awareness on this emergent issue. We are working collaboratively with patients, providers, payors, and other essential stakeholders within the maternal health ecosystem to develop targeted solutions and implement programs that significantly enhance access to holistic maternal care for all. It's time to transform this broken system into one that prioritizes the well-being of ALL mothers and ensures they receive the care they rightfully deserve. #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay #MaternalHealthReform #healthcaretransformation

Quality collaboratives are designed to decrease morbidity & mortality rates. How are you implementing them in your patient care? Are policies being established that encourage health equity? Have the conversation. So important! US maternal mortality in 2020 was over 3 times the rate in most of the other high-income countries, with almost 24 (23.8) maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births. #birthmatters #perinatalquality #perinatalsafety #accesstocare
