We can make postpartum better
Despite spending the most on healthcare, the US has the highest infant and maternal mortality rate. We are in a maternal health crisis, and our system is failing mothers. We can do more to prepare and support care teams and the families they serve and ensure all mothers not only survive birth, but thrive during their 4th trimester.
We can do more. We must invest in mothers and better care for mothers. Scroll the slides to read about the impact we can make if we support mothers and new families.
