Met with @RepPaulTonko today and discussed the importance of passing the MOMMA’s Act (HR 1897) to continue to work towards reducing maternal mortality nationwide. @ACOGAction #Gellhaus
An important, painful personal narrative by Dr. Susan Haney, an ER doc in Oregon, in @ACEPNow. Physicians can be penalized for seeking appropriate help for mental health problems. https://t.co/Pen8i50Ry1
“This landmark legislation has been a long-held goal for ACOG and is a crucial step to reversing our country’s rising maternal mortality rate.” - ACOG President Dr. Lisa Hollier (@TXmommydoc)
Time is Running Out: Congress Must Vote Before It Adjourns! Send a message to your Congresspeople!!! It takes five seconds (please alter the message as appropriate if you are not an OB-GYN). #Act2SaveMoms#BlackLivesMatter#BlackMamasMatter#WeCanDoBetter https://t.co/uAkyTbspoS

New study in the @greenjrnl finds that ever since the Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid in some states, more women have received health care before pregnancy.

It was such an honor to be with Charles Johnson with @4kira4moms working to get #Act2SaveMoms across the finish line! Our #MaternalMortality rate is increasing and is 3-4x higher in black women. This is UNACCEPTABLE! As Charles says “I respectfully demand action.” Me too-and now!
Just met with awesome staff from the office of @RepLindaSanchez to talk about HB1318 &S 1112. Let's get this law up for vote and to the president to sign so that we can ensure no child goes home without a mom. #Act2SaveMoms@ACOGAction
