Rethinking Pregnancy, Childbirth & Postpartum Tools & Policies: A Panel Discussion  

Friday, September 13
10 AM ET

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period are increasingly precarious for women in the United States. With over 1.5 million babies born into Medicaid each year, or approximately 41% of all births, the stakes are high. Maternal mortality has been rising, with nearly 84% of pregnancy-related deaths thought to be preventable. Black women, particularly, face a much higher risk of complications—with 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births in the US in 2021. Chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression, have become a key contributing factor.

Learn ways we can drive better outcomes for both mom and baby, from better leveraging common tools like the Health Risk Assessment to working on long-term policy changes like making diapers a Medicaid benefit.

Learning Objectives

  1. Learn how existing tools, like the Health Risk Assessment, can provide deeper, actional insight into how to address care gaps in this population.
  2. Understand how changes in Medicaid policy at a state level can create better outcomes and opportunities for new moms.
  3. Explore the latest in thinking about how early interventions in transportation, food and housing security and access to care can change the future for moms.
